Under the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Under the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom is a fun and imaginative kids’ book. The story is filled with colorful illustrations and lots of creativity.
This book was great for teaching kids about how their cuts heal and about bacteria and blood cells. My son, who has a bandage on his hand right now, really enjoyed learning about how cuts heal.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dragons are usually thought to be pretty scary creatures, but not to Wynnie. She finds a mysterious egg outside the King’s castle. She’s so excited that when it hatches, she names the dragon Mera. Being an untrained baby, Mera starts setting fires so the King gives Wynnie one day to get her under control. Can the love and dedication that Wynnie has be enough to save her new dragon friend?
This is a cute book with great illustrations. Wynnie is a strong-willed young lady who doesn’t let just anyone change her mind. She thinks for herself and sets out to prove that she can do something that others may not have the skills for.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a cute little story about a little boy and how he recovers from a scraped knee. I really liked how the book interjected facts about the body and how healing occurs. I think many children would enjoy reading the cute story and finding out about how their bodies work. I recommend this book to anyone with children who have inquiring minds and love to learn more about their body and how it heals.

What happens when you scrape your knee? Find out in this story! I read this with my 7 year old son. I love how things are explained in a way that makes sense to kids. My son is homeschooled and this year for science we were working on the human body. This was a great addition to what we have been learning. It’s not only a fun story, but very informative. That is usually how Lois Wickstrom’s books go. You have fun, but you also learn. (And it’s not boring!)
The Big Book of Booper Snoots by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
4.5 Stars
The Big Book of Booper Snoots by Suzanna Lynn is such a fun children’s story book with bright, colourful, and interesting pictures that drive the whole story. What is a Booper Snoot, you might wonder… Well, it is the ‘nose’ of a cute animal that you can’t help but want to gently tap your finger on. But here, Suzanna Lynn takes things several steps further, by making it an animal adventure- from A to Z… starting with Alpacas and ending with Zebra’s, there are a plethora of other animals ‘snoots’ to absorb our attention. From the well-known to the unusual, these alphabetical animals come with interesting facts that help educate us about all the different animals who ‘star’ in this book. So not only is it a fun book to read, but there is also an educational component too…. Now that’s what I call a win-win situation.
What a fun, engaging, and cute little book this is. My grandson loved reading this with me and pointing out all the different animals he recognised, while finding a few new ones to add to his ‘favourites’ list.
Looking forward to seeing what Suzanna Lynn does next.
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Suzanna Lynn!

Dinopotamus Goes to School by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Shows that children are accepting of everyone and will help their friends learn new things and will always find a way to include those around them. The child-like illustrations are cute and a great addition to this story. Again Lois Wickstrom does a wonderful job telling a story that children will enjoy.
Dinopotamus Goes to School by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dinopotamus Goes to School is a cute picture book for young readers. It is geared toward 4 to 8 year olds, and my 8 year old enjoyed reading it with me. Dino has been watching the kids play at school, and wants to participate, but he is worried he doesn’t fit in. He doesn’t look like the kids, or fit in their school, but he has fun playing and learning with them. It is a good story to teach inclusion and accepting others, even when they look different. The illustrations are fun and unique- looking like they are colored with crayon or pencil. Would be good in preschool or young elementary classrooms.

Loris Opens Up His Heart: An Emotional Story For Kids by Dagmara Sitek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loris is a foster child who is not sure who to trust, and prefers to stay to himself. When he comes to live with Cam, Inaya, and their mother, he struggles to adjust to a home life that is so different from the bad home life he is used to. Cam and Inaya try to involve Loris in the fundraiser run that they are organizing for a friend, but he doesn’t feel safe joining in until Cam is being bullied, and then he stands up for his new foster siblings. This book may not have the “warm fuzzies” from the beginning, but by the end, you will find yourself feeling for Loris and his journey. This is a great book for young kids, and for teaching children about foster children situations and the emotions that can come from it. I feel like this is also a good way to help people of any age to remember that you don’t know the full story of someone’s life, so being kind and being there for them, and not leaving them in their time of struggle, is often the most help you can give them.
The Big Book of Booper Snoots by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is one of the cutest alphabet books I’ve seen. Not only are we met with the most adorable boopable snoots (that you most definitely can boop on each page), we are given a plethora of information about each animal. I loved the colorfulness of the book along with the realness of it. Lynn packed in so much information for each animal but don’t let that overwhelm you. You could easily skip over that information for younger readers/listeners while the older readers/listeners can definitely learn from the amount of information she includes. This is a must have for animal lovers.

The book features adorable animal noses that are “boopable” and fun to touch, and while designed to help children learn their alphabet while discovering educational animal facts, I enjoyed leafing through it as an adult- it was a fun and interactive way to learn about animals

Consider me to be a big Booper Snooter. I have my whole life as I grew up on a farm and have own many animals, lizards, fish, turtles, Kangaroos, Wallabies, birds and much more.
So, when I saw Suzanna Lynn’s The Big Book of Booper Snoots and realised what it was all about I had to grab it and read it to my grandboys which they thoroughly enjoyed.
This delightful children’s picture book is educational, full of fun facts and is informative and imaginative. The wonderful illustrations are creative and bright and colourful. Little animal enthusiasts will love this adventure book.

I loved this book, my favorite part has to be the art. I love that it looks like someone drew and colored the book, such a fun concept. Dinopotamus is so cute and sweet, he wants to be like the other children, he wants to be involved. I appreciate the teacher including Dino in the lesson and even reassuring him that he did have 3 toes instead of 5 like the others and that is okay. All around a cute book.

I don’t think I’ve chuckled so much. You hear this term on some animal videos on social media. I love how the author uses it for an A-B-C of animals book. Terrific choice of animals. The descriptions are of unique characteristics. There is usually a weird fact. This is neat because even as an older person, I’m learning new facts reading this. Wonderful pictures. You even get to learn what it’s called when there is a group of the animals together. Check this book out. Another fun and educational one from this author that I’ll be adding to our family library. It’ll be a cool resource for projects that may come up.

Author Suzanna Lynn is a happily married, full-time mother of three beautiful, energetic children, and lives in a small town nestled in the deep rolling hills of Missouri.
Growing up in the Ozarks, Suzanna spent her childhood wandering the fields and woods surrounding her home. While most children avoided the dark corners of the woods, she sought them out; imagining them to be filled with fairies, dragons and all number of creatures.
Having not lost her childhood imagination, Suzanna has written numerous poems, songs and short stories that won various awards in high school and college. Her dream was to, one day, be an author.
In 2014 she decided to stop wishing she could publish a book and made the dream a reality when she released The Bed Wife.
That first novella gave birth to two more books, completing the series, and stirred the embers of her five-book series called The Untold Stories. She has since published stand alone novels, and has published several children’s books.
When she’s not busy writing, illustrating, or spending time with her family, Suzanna loves to travel, go horseback riding, and growing flowers. She also has been known to volunteer with her children’s school, the Ladies Auxiliary, and even her local zoo!

Okay first off I love the facts and tidbits the author puts on the pages. Most of them I never knew but now I do lmao so I’d say this book is good for all ages. I read this with my little one tonight, so hopefully after seeing this he’ll leave his bandages alone after a boo boo. This book was a great read, super fun and informative (which is awesome) about the bodies healing process after an accident, in a cool graphic way but I wouldn’t expect anything less from the talented author Lois Wickstrom. I look forward to seeing more work from this author 🥰🥰

Dinopotamus Goes to School is a fun and cute story that is for ages 4-8; but can also be enjoyed by anyone young at heart also reading to the littles during storytime. The story overall is engaging and fun while also having the colorful illustrations that go along with each page.
All Dinopotamus wants to do is be like all the children around them….playing and going to school!! Learning lessons is fun…..but learning everyone may be different in some ways….even Dinopotamus… it is ok!
This is a cute story…and very enjoyable.

Can I Keep Her by Lois Wickstrom. This is my favorite children’s author so we always know we are in for a treat with her books. This story was no different. Its the story of Wynnie and Lem who find a weird egg on a wall. When it hatched it was a dragon and Wynnie was given one day by the King to train it. Wynnie is determined that the dragon will make a good pet so she is going to do whatever it takes to prove it. The illustrations are always great in these books and the stories always have great lessons in them. Such a great read for the young kids in your life. Would also make a great gift.

This is one of the most beautiful reads in the recent times. The story is centered around the emotions felt by a boy in a foster care, Loris. When he finally finds his forever home, Loris is reluctant and unwilling to run a charity cause. When they dig deeper, there are plethora of emotions, anger, fear of being left alone,fear and frustration. It is a very emotional read which tugs at your heart. I am going to reread this book again with my whole family.

But wynnie loves her dragon. The king gives her a day to train the dragon. Will she be able to train the little dragon? This story teaches all of us to stick to our beliefs if we think they are right even if everyone else is questioning it.
I loved the story, am definitely going to recommend it to the younger kids.

Super cute children’s book. Not only does this story encourage going on school, it also teaches children about differences. While the dinosaur is very different he is still the same. This story also encourages counting and playing together. Once again this author has given children another cute story with teaching hidden within. A must have for your child’s library.

I have read a few of these authors’ books to my niece and she loves them. This book teaches you what happens when you get a boo boo. . My niece loves that the pictures for the story go so well with each other. She also loves that it makes learning fun.
A little boy loves to play with his toy soldiers. He trips on one of his pieces and he skins his knee. He goes to mom and she puts a bandage on his knee and tells him not to touch it. Then the story goes into how your body is healing his knee. Will he leave his bandage alone or will he not listen to his mom?

Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a great book! Summer of Mud is written for middle grade aged kids and I would recommend it for the higher end of that level. The main character is a talented musician with a chance of a lifetime to make her dreams come true. She ends up on a road trip with her older brother and lots of life experience.

This was a cute little story about a girl who bonded with a dragon. I think many kids will enjoy the story because what child doesn’t dream of owning a pet dragon. I also believe the story shows children how to stick with their beliefs even if everyone else thinks differently. The main character, Wynnie, believes that the dragon can be a great pet and works to prove that. I recommend this story for all the children who love to dream of owning a dragon.
Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Summer of Mud was such a heartwarming book about the true kindness of people and a lesson of perseverance. Rebecca Bischoff has written a real tear-jerker novel with such a strong lesson that life may not always bring what we expect, but good things are yet to come if we persevere. As we meet our main characters, Scoob and RC, we see they are doing everything they can to make ends meet for their survival. They had their mother leave them years ago, and after their father passed the year prior, they became homeless, all they had was their musical instruments and each other. Musical talent does not have an age limit, as we see through the brilliant trumpet playing of Scoob, a 12-year-old prodigy who is determined to find a gig playing in a band to help support her and her older brother. Unfortunately, RC has other plans for the two of them, taking them far from home in California, to take a road trip to where he claims to have a big job playing in a music festival. To Scoob’s surprise, they end up in Rexburg, Idaho where they meet up with a girl in a restaurant, Cherish, who RC seems to have a crush on and doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to leave. Scoob and RC meet so many different types of people, from snobbish locals, and suspicious shop owners, as well as police officers looking to question them. They finally come across some nice, good Samaritans who are all about helping those in need with no questions asked on whether they were being honest about who they were or the situation that brought them to town.
This book is a great read that had me in tears by the last few chapters as I followed our characters through their ups and downs. There were times when I wasn’t sure if they would be able to make it through all of the situations that they were caught up in. There were moments when I was in shock by the outcomes that didn’t seem like they could ever survive, it just broke my heart. If I could give this story more than 5 stars I would, because it was such a beautiful story showing how strong community is, especially when times are tough.

What a great informative book. I feel like I just had a science lesson! I loved the rhyming of the story and the little facts also on the page. My 4 year old granddaughter loved me reading her this book. She was more interested in the story and not so much in the facts. The facts will be used and read better by the older children. The illustrations are fabulous and depict the story great.

Reading Can I keep her by Lois Wickstrom, I’ve been hit with a touch of nostalgia. The artwork reminds me of the books we used to read in the 90s /00s, I love it 😀. As we’re reading this my little one asked if we could get a pet dragon🤣 I gotta say it’s a good thing they aren’t real cause I would TOTALLY get one! And tbh we younger folks should be advisors in the real world, they aren’t stuck in their ways and often think outside the box. This was a great story enjoyed by all ages. Can’t wait to read more !

Another cute story from this author, I always enjoy getting to check out her books. This is a great book to teach young children not only about counting or other educational skills, but that it’s ok to be different. The children in the book recognize the Dinopotamus wants to learn, but he is a bit different from them. Children will get to see how they embrace the differences between themselves and Dino. I enjoyed the art work as well, it was very cute and young children will definitely enjoy it as well. Definitely a great book to enjoy with young children.
