I’ve read a lot of Lois Wickstrom’s books, but this is my first adventure with Loretta. I love how you learn without even realizing it while reading this clever book. The illustrations are really fascinating and colorful as well!

Have you ever wondered about the life cycle of a firefly? Well Loretta finds out all about fireflies as she observes them through multiple stages of their lives. I also love the added information at the end of the story that allows you to learn even more about fireflies. I will definitely be checking out more of this series.

My entire household loves this author, and the kids get so excited when I bring a new book home. Imagine their surprise when it was centered on their favorite insect, lightning bugs! When Loretta happens upon some luminous larvae, she is intrigued and embarks on a journey to understand the life cycle of these new creatures. I love the way the author is able to flawlessly weave educational tidbits without losing the interest of kiddos. The illustrations were a little different from other books by Lois, but they are still wonderful and helpful for the young ones to gain more context. I loved the facts about fireflies even as an adult! These books always spark such wonderful conversations with my kids. I highly recommend having this in your classroom or at home and letting it light up your little one’s curiosity!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Loris Opens Up His Heart is a emotional read that is aimed at children from 5-10 years of age, but I believe that this is a must read for anyone. The story of Loris really brings out emotions of being afraid, angry and feeling alone and abandoned but also educational teaching of love, acceptance, patience and kindness.

Loris is being juggled around to many foster families until he is with a family that include Cam and Inaya whom want to make Loris feel welcomed. When Cam and Inaya are getting ready for a charity run for Susie, they want to include Loris…who has no interest at first. When Loris finally opens up about his feelings and heart…he soon learns that he is loved and accepted.

This is truly a must read for the young and young at heart. The story is heartfelt and the illustrations are beautiful and engaging and bring the story to life. We can all learn a lesson how to open up our hearts…There is someone who always cares….

The Glow in Loretta’s Garden is Book Five in the Loretta’s Insects series. It is a children’s picture book that teaches children about the life cycle of fireflies. Loretta loves insects and while digging in her flower bed she finds glowing larvae. She places them in an empty ant farm and watches them as they dig little mud houses underground. After several days of observing the activity of the larvae Loretta notices that there are fireflies coming out so she takes the ant farm outside so they can fly free. She then spends time watching the fireflies and makes some interesting observations about how they flash. A cute and informative read that is a good resource for kids to learn about the life cycle of a firefly. The illustrations were okay, but I personally found the illustrations in previous books in this series more captivating and engaging. Overall, a great read.

Fay's Kindness Parade (The Adventures of Cray)Fay’s Kindness Parade by G Pa Rhymes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As the chill of winter begins, Fay and her friends start to move to warmer waters. Along the way, Fay and her friends help other marine animals. Once they have been helped, the other animals join Fay and her friends in their pursuit of warmer waters, causing a parade of friends, and kindness. This is an adorable book for young children that not only promotes helping others, but also brings up topics like things in the oceans that are dangerous to the animals, and getting separated from your parents in child friendly ways that parents can choose to expand on as they see fit. The illustrations are beautiful. I shared this with my children (who are admittedly older than the target audience, 4th and 5th grade) and they loved it as well.

Loris Opens Up His Heart is another educational tale in the Courage Tales series that is heartfelt and full of lots of rollercoaster emotions as we travel along with a little boy in foster care. This one is going to hit you in all the feels.
The story is aimed at children aged 5 – 10 years of age but we could all learn from it. This compelling tale helps tackle dealing with emotions, like when feeling alone, angry, frustrated, being scared and more.
This beautiful tale is a raw and will teach children about compassion, about kindness, about courage, and about overcoming fears. I just wanted to scoop him and the others up and wrap them in love and hugs. Loris Opens Up His Heart is a must. The illustrations by Lau Frank are beautifully done.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Timmy, Beth and Arthur are three friends trying to complete a science project, when they unexpectedly get drug into the middle of a town mystery and hunt for a missing time capsule. When Timmy is tasked with watching their former teacher’s dog while she’s in the hospital, he is also given a map that should help with locating the missing time capsule. With a dog that can wag in Morse Code, and his friends by his side, Timmy embarks on an adventure around town to try and solve the mystery. What none of them could be prepared for is all of the things that discover along the way. The best thing to remember here, is to trust your instincts and be careful what you wish for. This is a fun book that is easy to read and would be good for grade school age children who like a little mystery but aren’t ready for some of the “older” series.

Amese of Animalis is the first book in The Borosa Legacy by MJ Murray. A wonderful start to a magical fantasy adventure intended for a younger audience, however I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book regardless of my age. Truly an enthralling and enchanting book, with beautiful imagery, world building, and fascinating characters. I felt a personal connection to Amese immediately, and couldn’t get enough of her narrative. I haven’t read from this author before, but I can guarantee I’m waiting for book two!

Being a new kid in any situation is hard, but being a new kid in foster care is even harder. Loris is the new kid, he is scared, withdrawn and angry. Even though Cam and Inaya try to befriend him he is having a hard time adapting. Will the kids give up on Loris? Will Loris come around? This author opened the eyes of many with this story. The emotion put into this story is spot on. Cam and Inaya are the best siblings and have opened their hearts to Loris, they understand what he is going through. I really enjoyed this story! The courage, love, and helping others, made this book a must have to all libraries.

This is a beautiful children’s book about Loris who struggles to open up to his new foster home. This is a fantastic book that could be used to teach compassion, kindness, courage, overcoming fears, and so much more. I really love the empathy we feel from Cam and Inaya and the vulnerability we eventually get from Loris. This is a fantastic teaching tool for kids and the illustrations are phenomenal.

This is a really cute kids mystery that will intrigue all ages. You have to stick with it as the beginning is a bit jumpy and has you all over the place, but once Wickstrom hits her stride…you are in it for the long haul. Code Dog is the story of Timmy, Beth, and Arthur as they try to find a 200-year old time capsule so they can win the $1,000 prize. Luckily, Mrs. Vance has a map the kids can use while she is recuperating from surgery and Timmy is caring for Cody, her adored dog. However, along the way, the kids and readers learn that Cody has secrets of her own and may be the key in helping them find the missing time capsule before their time runs out. There is suspense, humor, and friendship. This is a great chapter book for blossoming readers as well as a fantastic read-a-long for bedtime. As always, Wickstrom does a fantastic job of not only telling a wonderful story, but weaving life lessons throughout.

This is one of the most heartwarming books I’ve read. It’s probably one of the closest I’ve seen to explain to foster children about family. I think Loris is a sweet child. I loved how the author explained the feelings of all the kids and how what he was feeling was normal. I wish we could get a copy of this book to every foster child or therapist.

This story is about many things, Cody the Code Dog, a town with secrets, a monster in the woods, kids trying to decipher the code and discover the secrets all the while trying to be kids, homework, chores and creating a band. I’m tired just thinking about their adventures!

The beginning half of this story seems to be all over the place. The three friends, Beth, Timmy and Arthur, are all concerned about their own thing. Beth wants to finish the school project, Timmy wonders about the monster in the woods and Arthur wants to just keep writing songs for their band. They don’t really seem to get along as friends do. But then their teacher needs their help in finding the missing time capsule. Luckily there’s a map with clues, however, those clues don’t really make much sense and there are others looking for the capsule, as well.

Cute story with a cute dog and some very interesting characters. While I do love most of this author’s books, this one wasn’t my favorite. Will continue to read the stories from her and look forward to more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These Oscar and Emmy books are always so cute and informative about animals. This one specifically deals with fostering. Charlie and Abby learn so much through fostering three tiny kittens. These books always take real life pet and animal problems and bring them to an age appropriate level for children. Over crowding at animal shelters is a very real, very common thing. This touches on it gently and helps teach about what it’s like to take in kittens, but then to adopt them out so that you can take on more to help with the over population of cats.

This story is an easy and cute read for young children. Dylan and his little sister are off to the park to learn and practice baseball with the neighborhood kids. Little did they know that there would be a problem, an adventure to be had, a mystery to solve. Good thing Dylan and Emily have a detective kit and like solving mysteries.

This story was fun to read. I imagine reading it to 1st grade aged children. I love the classroom prompts at the end of the story. This story is fun and educational. My favorite type of children’s books.

This chapter book is for more ages of 8-12 years, although I think it depends on the child’s reading level. It’s a lovely adventure of the best friends on a mystery quest to find a time capsule. There’s plenty of intrigue to keep the reader turning the page to see what happens next. I liked the dog character. If I had a dog like that when I was a kid, there would be plenty of adventures for sure!

Such a great story for young readers, I’d recommend for upper grade school levels-middle grade. Although Timmy questioned it, I did like the friendship with the children. They went on this adventure to find the time capsule together, even Beth who was very worried about their science project. I loved Cody and so glad that the kids involved her in the search for the time capsule. I like how the author included a way for the kids to communicate with Cody that wasn’t a gimmicky talking dog. The story ends with a happy ending and I know this is a stand alone but honestly I would love to see more adventures with this trio and their dog.

Code Dog by Lois Wickstrom. This is my favorite children’s author and these are for a little older kids around 8-12 years old. Its a fun story about Timmy, Arthur & Ben who have been tasked with finding a time capsule that is over 200 years old. It was originally found 100 years ago and dug up and buried somewhere else. All they have to do is follow the map and they will get $1000 prize. Timmy is looking after someone’s dog and the dog Cody ends up being a huge help. She can track, she can tell your fortune and she can even speak in morse code. Will they find the time capsule? This author is so good, she always tells a great story but there are also lessons thrown in. These books are educational and fun!

With students doing a science project together, what could go wrong? Typical group project dynamics- that’s what! One student doing the work while others can’t be bothered to assist. Will the students become distracted by the side quest of searching for a missing time capsule? Can a special dog that knows Morse Code help them? Will the group learn to work together? My hometown recently celebrated its sesquicentennial, so the time capsule intrigued me.

Porter and Midge Paws and Responsibilities is the first book I’ve read by this author. My seven year old daughter was delighted to see there were more books listed at the end of this one. We enjoyed the book and I felt it flowed very well. She was able to read a good majority with some assistance by me without a ton of frustration which is always great. Her favorite part was “seeing” the dog be groomed and learning about caring for a pet in that capacity. We will be reading more Porter and Midge in the near future.

Regardless if it is one of her younger children picture books or the shorter chapter books for school age children, the author does a great job immersing her readings in a world full of vivid description and imagination. She created imaginative characters that you will not forget! Timmy, Arthur, and Beth are wonderful characters, who are inquisitive and up to help solve a mystery. Of course my favorite was Mrs. Vance’s dog Cody. A sweet and extremely intelligent pup who can talk in Morse code, track, and even tell your fortune! The kids all have to work together to solve a century old mystery within a certain amount of time if they want to win the prize. Definitely a great book for school age children, especially with the puzzles and codes to make it more engaging for readers.

Kris & The Pirates is part of The Adventures of Kris series and what a delightful and fun read. This is a chapter book for ages 6-10 that is full of fun, adventure, sailors, pirates and animals. This story can be enjoyed even for the young at heart. I am already looking forward to more Adventures with Kris.

Kris is not loving the idea of having to go to a costume party….especially when it is in the month of March!! As her dad asks if she would like to dress up as a pirate..Kris only wants to be a knight. As she opens up her book to read and relax she is pulled into a story of sailing the high seas as a sailor. When Kris and her friend James spot land they want to explore and go swimming. When things do not go as planned and pirates take capture of all of Kris’ sailor friends…she embarks on a journey of adventure trying to help free the sailors…meeting new animal friends and helps Kris think how they can help…. will Kris be able to free all her sailor friends from the pirates?

Definitely read and find out….such a fun read.
