Pulling Together by Lois Wickstrom is another wonderful children’s book with a great lesson. Lila’s Grandma knits her a poncho with three head holes and Lila is certain Grandma must have made a mistake. As Lila goes out to play she learns what Grandma meant by pulling together. It is a wonderful lesson that teaches how we can set children on the path and allow them to learn the lessons of kindness, gratitude, and “pulling together”. I really enjoyed reading this story with my children. The lessons are easy to grasp and the illustrations are beautiful. This is a winner of a story!

I have read many of Lois Wickstrom’s books and I always have high expectations when I am able to read a new one. This one rose to those expectations and exceeded them. As always, this book features such sweet characters and an amazing plot. I truly loved this story. This is a great story to discuss inclusion and getting along with others. I definitely enjoy this story and will be rereading with both my students and my niece and nephew.

When Lila sees her grandmother knitting a poncho with three head holes, she thinks that she has definitely made a mistake. All her grandmother says is “We all pull together “. Not really understanding, Lila puts on the poncho and goes out to play. By the end of the day, Lila realizes that her grandmother didn’t make a mistake and understands the reason for the three head holes. This is a great book to teach children to help others even those that they think don’t deserve it. This is a fantastic way to show kids that sticking together is always better!

I have enjoyed reading this author’s children’s books from the first one. I never hesitate to pick up one of her books to read to the children in my life. This is an engaging story that is full of interactive pictures that will keep your imagination going. I enjoy how there is a message in this book plus the entertainment value of it. This is a great children’s book that any younger child would enjoy and want you to read again and again. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Pulling Together is a wonderfully written children’s book that children of any age will enjoy and adults to. My son and I are huge funs of this author and this may be our favorite yet. The one thing I love about this author is there’s always something to gain from reading her books for example learning to share or how to work together This is about Pulling Together. Lila’s grandma knits her a poncho but she thinks grandma made a mistake. While outside playing she comes across three kids who need her help including one kid who is the neighborhood bully. What will Lila do? Will she help all three kids? My son loved the story and the illustrations. He even had his own opinion on what Lila should do. I highly recommend reading this heart warming children’s book to find out what Lila did? I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is such a lovely and heart warming story by an author that our entire household always enjoys. This story is all about inclusion and sticking together, something that kids really would benefit from knowing more about as they grow up. It was really nice to see my daughter understand the subject matter and engage with it so naturally. It was perfect to teach her the morale of the story. As usually, we have already read this book multiple times and I am sure we will be reading it many more.

What little girl doesn’t want a magical dress? Princess Zarina wants a special dress: so special that everyone will remember her and her beautiful dress. With all the dress makers in the kingdom being busy for the Royal Advancement Ceremony combined with a gala so grand with visiting kingdoms, Zarina is taken to a special dress maker outside of the kingdom walls. Zarina takes off on her own to go pick up her dress and it is not the dress she had envisioned. It wasn’t gold and ruffly, and pretty but instead black with gemstones and fire fairies dancing across the skirt. She was very mad and disappointed but when trying to take the dress off, she realized she was stuck in the dress and not just stuck but magically stuck in the dress! After giving the dressmaker the horses and carriage as promised, Zarina must now find her way back to her castle alone but the kingdom has been invaded and Princess Zarina must now avoid capture while being stuck in the dress. And to make matters worse, the common folk do not like her family or anyone who is a part of the ruling government! No one wants to help her or be seen helping her along her journey home. Will this dress be a help or hindrance in Zarina making it home safely and defeat the invaders? Can she save her kingdom, or will she be captured like the others? A great read with lots of magic and fun and a bit of intrigue thrown into the mix. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a touch of magic in their life. I definitely recommend the book for preteens and for girls to read and learn that they too can make a difference in the world they live in. Zarina grows in ways that she never thought possible. A true hero’s journey!

L. Small- Review by Stephanie Driskill
My great nieces, nephew and I love this author’s books and this is one of our favorites. Very good illustrations and I love the overall message of this story and young and old can enjoy and learn.
Lila is curious that her Grammie is knitting something from Lila that is 3 holes and no sleeves..what could it be? When Grammie is done with the poncho for Lila….she immediately tries it one to go outside…and this poncho keeps Lila warm. Will Lila share when her friends get chilly while playing outside too even is one of her friends is a bit abrasive?
Remember “We All Pull Together”…what a wonderful message for not only children to remember but for adults too.

Lila assumes her grandma made a mistake when she knitted her a 3-neck poncho. As the day turns blustery cold, Lila learns a lesson of gratitude and friendship as her and her friends stave off a bullyish boy.
This book would be perfect for a discussion of inclusion, taking chances (and elders sometimes know better) and getting along with peers. The colorful illustrations enhance to story as well. Perhaps too wordy for the youngest listeners, would be a delightful read/listen for slightly older preschoolers and kindergarten aged children.

When Lila’s Grandma starts knitting a poncho with three head holes Lila thinks that Grandma has surely made a mistake. When Lila asks her Grandma about she says, “We all pull together” and then sends her out to play wearing the poncho. Lila makes her way to her friends house that is two doors down. On the way she encounters two others, one of which is the neighborhood bully. Lila hurries on her way and once she gets to her friends house she discovers what her Grandma meant by her words.
This was a beautiful little story packed full of lessons and exquisite illustrations that really bring the story to life. Grandma had a lesson to teach Lila by knitting a poncho with three head holes but it was up to Lila to learn it through her own actions. Although intended for younger children it conveys important messages for all ages about peer pressure, bullying, sharing, kindness, gratitude, playing and working together. Another amazing book by this author!

Lila’s grandmother knits a poncho for Lila. At first Lila thinks grammy made a mistake – there were three neck holes! She puts it over her head and arms and heads out to see her friends. She hopes that certain neighbors don’t see her… but they do. During her interactions with each of the kids in the neighborhood, they learn that if they “pull together” things work out much nicer for each of them. Lois Wickstrom uses this great way to show the idea of working together is better than working against.

Lila learns that her grandmother is wiser then she thought. As grandmother is making a ponçho with 3 holes in it. Lila soon find out what her grandmother means when she said,”We All Pull Together”. So why are there 3 holes in the ponçho? That can only be answered by reading this story! I absolutely love this author and her children’s books. She touched on many childhood pressures. Peers, Bullying, Sharing, Playing and Working Together. Her characters are the children we love and adore. This is another book all children’s libraries should have in it.

I really can never say this enough, if you have a child who likes books or maybe you just like to read to your children Lois Wickstrom is an amazing author. In Pulling Together, she teaches about working together and doing things together. A fun story that teaches your kids values and more.

Children will indulge their imaginations with the colourful illustrations that help to bring the story to life. Find out what Lila does and how her poncho helps her in her adventures.

Grandma knits Lila a poncho. This poncho has not one, but three, head holes in it! Lila is sure Grandma made a mistake. Grandma sends her out to play, saying, “We all pull together!” Lila thinks that makes no sense. She encounters three kids who need her help, including the neighborhood bully. Who will she help? And what does the poncho have to do with it?
Lois Wickstrom lives in a world where imaginary playmates are real. She doesn’t remember being born, so she finds unbirthdays are more exciting than the official once-a-year date on the calendar. She’s taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales.
She writes by herself. She writes with co-authors. She asks illustrators what they would like to draw. If she ever writes her autobiography, the title will be My Life as a Group Project.
Her mother used to get angry with her for daydreaming. Her little sister picked on her. So she lived in books and wrote her own stories in which the bad-guys made sense, and the good-guys had a chance. As she has grown older, her imagination has grown weirder. Even she doesn’t know what she will write next.
Lois is a former science teacher. She has written a series of science-based folktales, and turned some of them into plays. In each modernized tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending because of learning scientific principles. Lois likes to garden, ride her bike with her husband, cook, and she votes in every election.

Absolutely loved putting myself back into my younger middle school/elementary years. Along with the other stories I read at that time, this book would have fit in perfectly to my tastes as a young girl. A strong female royal figure, adventure that is dangerous and necessary, friends that come along the way and last a lifetime, and so much more. This has everything you would expect for a new/novice reader to enjoy, and is definitely an appropriate read.
Princess Zarina is in line for the Royal Advancement Ceremony, a sort of coming of age moment for her. She gets the opportunity to make a deal with a tailor for the event that should make her night even more memorable. She ends up getting the dress, but it wasn’t exactly what she asked for, it’s something even more than that. This is when everything that was right…suddenly starts to go very wrong.
There is family turmoil, loss, and an evil in the world that Zarina must face if she wants to save her Kingdom. She must evolve, and adapt in order to survive in this world. Watching her grow is a magical journey you want to be a part of. The illustrations are so helpful to aid in the story, and they are fun too. Overall such a well written story, that just makes you feel good to read.

5 Stars A Dress To Remember: A Fairy Tale by K.L. Small
A Dress To Remember is a children’s fairy tale that is packed with magic, witches, fairies and a magical princess dress that is much ,much more than it seems to be. This is an epic fantasy fairytale that is this authors debut novel. Zarnia is lets just say it she’s a spoiled princess who is about to learn a great deal. This dress is a special dress and our princess doesn’t want it it’s not what she was expecting but I bet she finds herself grateful for the dress amongst other things. I highly recommend this book to young children to even teenagers and adults to. I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from this Author.

In recent years, I’ve been so exposed to so many different types of fairy tale stories and so glad to add another new, exciting story to the list! Princess Zarina is very excited for her birthday and ends up meeting a dressmaker to give her the dress she truly wants. Only problem is that the dress is not quite what she expects and ends up becoming trapped in her dream dress. Now as she treks back to her home, chaos erupts and invaders terrorize her home as well as kill the King and Queen. Zarina must now find some way to avoid capture and ends up finding out that some mishaps can turn into your benefit. For those young girls who love fairy tales and strong female characters, this novel is a must read! Very entertaining from start to finish!

This book reminds me of an old school fairy tale. Zarina is preparing for her big day and to not be outdone she goes to a dressmaker not inside the kingdom. With the direction of her Auntie they travel to the woods outside of the protected walls of the kingdom.
What a journey Zarina would take to get back to the castle in time for her gala. All while wearing a magical dress and fighting every step of the way to stay alive and get back.
She proves she’s more than just a pretty face and that a dress isn’t always what it seems.
When she comes across her Auntie’s son on her way back to the kingdom, she’s able to make a family a family again! I loved how this story unfolded and came together.

I got this book for my nieces who are 9 and 11. Each of us really enjoyed the storyline and characters. My nieces took turns reading and both had an easy time really getting into the story. Some times kids can be easily distracted and my nieces are this way a lot of the time but once they started this book they kept wanting to keep going. I loved to take away from the story I believe it hit close to home with my oldest niece. I’m a huge fan of a story that can entertain but also teach kids a valuable lesson. My nieces were asking for more books after this one so I’ll definitely take that as a win. We all agreed it’s a five star story.

This was an amazing magical fairy tale of a story. It was very well written, very well written and very thought out. This book was amazingly written that it painted a picture in your head and made you believe that you were right there watching everything unfold. This book is for all ages to read like a Cinderella story but with a little twist with the dress. Princess Zarina likes to get what she likes and wants, and never takes no for an answer. But this mini journey that she ends up on really makes her realize that things aren’t always what they seem to be, and that she has to learn to, and problem solve for herself. This book will take you on a magical little journey that will have you turning the pages to finding out what happens next.

Small – Review by Jennifer Reimer
Zarina is the youngest princess of the royal family. Since she is beautiful, everyone only sees her as a pretty face. She is spoiled and selfish. With her Royal Advancement Ceremony coming up in 2 weeks, Zarina wants the best dress. Her aunt suggests a dressmaker she knows of in the woods, claiming to be the best. Zarina goes immediately. The mysterious dressmaker takes her measurements and what not, demanding the carriage Zarina arrives in as payment.
When Zarina goes back to get her dress it is nothing like she expected. She wanted a gold dress but got a black one instead. The woman told her it may not be the dress she wants but it’s the dress she needs.
Zarina is then abandoned in the woods in the black dress that will not come off. The dress is magic, reacting to the stories Zarina tells. Zarina travels through the woods trying to find her way back home and along the way meets the locals. They try to help her find her way home. Can she make it home on time? Who is this overseer that the locals keep talking about? Is Zarina more than just a pretty face?
This book is geared towards older children although it’s exciting enough to capture the attention of adults as well. It has an interesting and unique theory too. The author did a wonderful job teaching a lesson within the plot.

Small – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I don’t usually read this genre either but it was a good read. This book is full of adventure and growth.
Princess Zarina isn’t a character many would like at first. Her Royal Advancement Ceremony is approaching and she just has to have a special dress regardless of any danger that may be present. Princess Zarina quickly learns she’s capable of more than she thought and discovers who she truly is. She discovers strengths she didn’t know she had.
There is a lot of character growth throughout this story and my opinion of Princess Zarina changed by the end. If fairy tales are your thing, this book is for you.

Noah Reagan has always dreamed of making it big—for science. A place in The Summer with Supers Youth Program would provide him with just that. Popularity, respect, and maybe even a bully-free semester.
But when Lincoln City’s mutant infestation leaves Noah’s dreams crushed beneath a pile of rubble, he’s forced to spend the summer working for his dad’s failing Mega-Maintenance company, cleaning up after the very creatures that have stolen his freedom.
With the real heroes battling back the incoming hordes, Noah begins his investigation into the madness fueling the monsters, hoping to end the mega-meltdowns before his last chances of a super summer are swept into the dustbin.
Though, with the mastermind holding the keys to Noah’s dreams, interfering may doom him to an off-brand existence, and a future of atomic wedgies, forever.

Princess Zarina is the youngest member of her royal family. She does not like to take no for an answer and is used to getting her own way. When Princess Zarina wants a special dress for her Royal Advancement Ceremony, she is determined to make sure it is unique and stands out from everyone else’s dress. She finds a mysterious seamstress that has a reputation for making special dresses and makes a deal with her.
Princess Zarina does not get the beautiful dress she asked for and instead gets a black dress that she hates. When the seamstress asks Princess Zarina to try on the dress, she becomes trapped in it. The seamstress gives Princess Zarina a mysterious message about the dress’ magical qualities before she disappears. Princess Zarina is now on her own and it is up to her to find her way back to the castle. Along the way she learns what the magical qualities of the dress are and uses it to try to avoid being captured by the raiders who have taken over the castle and killed the King and Queen.
The storyline of this book was intriguing, and I loved the way the author weaved the story of Princess Zarina and her journey. Through the book Princess Zarina grows and matures through a series of adventures and life lessons. She starts off as being spoiled, self-centered, and strong-willed but learns what is truly important in life. The author did an amazing job of discussing some real-world life lessons while doing it in a fun, easy-to-read book for children of all ages.

Small – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
This is such a cute story for our little scientist. I read this book to my niece and she absolutely loved it and she also learned something new. This book makes science fun and you learn about gravity. My niece also loved the pictures as well. They went perfectly with the story.
