My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I enjoy Lois Wickstrom’s books not only the adult in me but also for my great niece’s and nephew as well. As we open up the book, we learn that Loretta and her family have a big garden to take care of so they can have food for the winter. Loretta tries hard to make sure no critters take their food from the garden. Loretta finds these ladybugs and we journey to find out how ladybugs are beneficial to gardens.

This story really captures learning all about ladybugs, even I learned things I did not know myself and curiosity. The story is enjoyable for all ages.

Argh, Matey! My young grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed this pirate story – Where Do Pirates Go On Vacation by Kim Ann. With vivid and fun illustrations that capture one’s imagination, the story practically leaps off of the pages for all who read it. Your own little one will no doubt find themselves swept up in its adventures too.

This is a cute story about a mischievous little girl who falls in love with ladybugs and wants to save them all. Loretta as a character is true to a child’s view point. The reader cheers her on as she finds more ladybugs. Never thought about putting ladybugs in the refrigerator before, and the story gives the reader information about them on story form. The illustrations are beautifully painted watercolour scenes!

This is a very cute story and the first in the series. I read this to my niece and she absolutely loved it. Loretta lives in a cabin with her family and she is a little mysterious. She goes outside and finds some ladybugs. Loretta is very curious about how they live in the winter and she brings them home with her. She ends up understanding a lot more about ladybugs than she ever thought. This is a very cute and educational read for kids.

Amaleigh is known for her big heart and how she cares about everyone around her. While at the library one day she notices her school library bilingual section doesn’t have that many books.
Amaleigh hatches a plan to change this!
What a wholesome book for kids about how they can make changes in their world and spark an interest in making their own library. Great for school age kids my 4.5 year old loved this story!

The first thing that drew me in for this book was the cover and the title! It was fun, inviting and engaging, which are ALL important things that you need to have to get a child interested in reading books. The illustrations are very colorful and bright. The story was something that an adult would enjoy reading along with the children. This book allows for creativity and creates an air of wonder and mystery. I cannot wait to read this book with my friend’s children as I know that they will love this book as much as I did, if not more!!

The first thing that caught my eye about this book is the excellent graphics!! They are so clear and colorful and I young readers will love them as well! This book is great for beginning readers as they are very short sentences but this book could be enjoyed by all ages!

Have you ever wondered if pirates take vacations? Or, are they happy where they are on their ships? This book explores some of the possibilities for pirates and their leisure time. It opens doors for discussions about vacations taken or desired to be taken with the reader(s). Keep exploring and one never knows what they may discover!

This would make a great gift idea for an elementary education teacher, daycare, preschool, family library, and more!

I truly enjoy reading book’s with a pure heart. This author did a great job. Amaleigha is kind, wanting to help others, and feeling safe to share her ideas with others. Current times at times and with certain people we cant do that. So reading this book just makes me feel like we lost touch of that. Needs to be more positive open communication.

I enjoyed this book. I think it would be a fun book for kids to learn about ladybugs and then afterwards go outside and find some. The facts about ladybugs in this book is very education even to me, as an adult. I didn’t know that ladybugs were alive in the winter and lived in an almost state of rest until the weather warmed. It is also nice to see the little girl, Loretta, so interested in her garden and being outside playing.

This book was an instant hit with both of my kids even though they are 3 years apart. The rhymes and the story fully engaged my daughter. She was listening as I read and quickly picked out her favourites.
My son loves the pictures. He identified the pirates straight away and kept trying to turn the pages to look at more. For me this was a genuinely fun book to read. I didn’t mind reading this multiple times because the kids enjoyed it so much. I am pleased to see if it’s a series.

Amaleigha loves helping people and recently she’s noticed a need in her local school library. She presents an idea to her teacher and her grandfather, and together with other trusted adults, they hatch a plan to include bilingual books in the school library.

This is a cute book that could inspire a youngster to want to find a way to help others, whether it be a bilingual library like Amaleigha or some other brilliant idea. It also encourages readers to seek out others who may have experience in a given area that could possibly help them to implement their idea to fruition. I also like how this book featured multiple different languages to give young readers a multicultural experience while reading the book.

Another cute story about Amaleigha. A six year old little girl with a heart of gold. She reminds me of my 6 year old son. Constantly so thoughtful and caring. Always thinking of others and how to make them happier and their lives better. In this book, she thinks about other kids who may speak and read different languages, and their need for books in their own language! Such a sweet thought. I hope there will be more in this series.

Amaleigha loves reading! She even goes to the library often. As she visits she notices many people and their different languages. Looking further into the availability she notices, there are not enough books for them to read. So she sets forth a plan, thinking she can do it. Can she? How about getting others involved, will they want to help? Once again this author has written another easy to follow and fun to read for children. I love how Amaleigha gets others involved. As does the author! I look forward to seeing where Amaleigha and this author goes next. I truly enjoyed reading this to my grandchildren.

This book is about a brother and sister that fight about everything. While they get very creative in trying to outdo one another, I think maybe a parent should have stepped in a couple times here. This is often the kind of sibling rivalry we see. Normally though the siblings grow closer as they get older. Realistic in nature, overall a cute story!

Where Do Pirates Go on Vacation? by Kim Ann. This is such a great book for kids. The story is so cute and my nephews age 4 and age 9 (even though he said he was too old for it) enjoyed it. Its a story about Pirates and where would they go on vacation. Cute story and great pictures. This is a cute series and the pictures are so colorful and fun. This would make a great gift for the little one in your life!

By Lois Wickstrom

I liked the idea of this story, however I also felt somewhat confused as it seemed to jump from one thing to the next and a little hard to follow. Also the kitten’s name was “Stuck” and it was stuck in a tree so that was a bit confusing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a cute book! I have read others in this series and I enjoyed this one as well.
When the main character Caspian and his grandpa are on a walk they discover something that makes him go home and get ready for an adventure where he meets a new furry friend!
The book is very colourful and keeps your attention as you read each page. As a teacher of young children under the age of 5 this book is great for learning about adventures and that sometimes you don’t always succeed on what you intended to do!
Overall I would highly recommend this book to parents and caregivers of young children.

This book is fun and teaches kids all about Ladybugs and their habits. How ladybugs help the gardens and where they go when it’s too cold for them. It is super cute and will help teach children to love ladybugs. Let’s just hope none of them want to store them in the fridge like Loretta. This book is educational and very fun. This author does a fabulous job teaching children through her stories.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Invisible Magic Wand Series. Though it can be read as a standalone book, it would add context to the story if you read the other books in the series. I really enjoy Lois Wickstrom’s writing and have read several books by them to my family. As always, the colorful images help guide the reader through Caspian’s adventure. These imaginative stories not only help a child to use their imagination but to also try and figure out ways to solve problems in everyday life.

What would you do if you saw a kite in a tree? Well, Caspian decides to go get his magical hot chocolate socks that Grandpa had given him for his unbirthday. Using those “magic” socks, Caspian starts on an adventure where he follows a cat that might not just be your average cat after all. This is a cute, fun read that might take a little more imagination than some of the other books in the series as it’s a little harder to see how things correlate. That being said, I think it’s just another way to get children to see just how far their imagination can go. I can’t wait for more books from this author.
