Another Wickstrom adventure you can’t help but help be drawn into. I mean, who doesn’t want a pet dragon?!? But, can she really be trained in one day?

Wickstrom’s book is well written with gorgeous illustrations that reminded my other children’s books from my childhood. My neice and nephew loved this book, and I would recommend it to others.

Can I Keep Her? is the 2nd book in the Kingdom of Mir series, where young Winnie earned her right to be an advisor to the King. Once again, she encounters a situation involving a special egg and finds a solution by applying her thoughtfulness and empathy.
This lovely story has a great message that would appeal to 5-8 year olds. It is easy to read to children and have them follow along with the delightful illustrations.

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.

Grab this one today! You’ll enjoy it!

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 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.

What a good little book for ages 4-8. The illustrations are remarkable with bright colors and with great detail. I read this story to my 4 year old granddaughter, and she loved it. This story is twofold for me. It teaches a child that sometimes you have to try something (under adult supervision) that an older person might not think is the best. It also teaches children that if you work or train something (the dragon) and take time to help and make it understand to follow rules or commands that it makes all the difference in the world.

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 !

Once again, the beautiful classic golden book type illustrations bring this unique story to life. Lois Wickstrom’s main theme to this book is just because something has always been perceived as bad doesn’t mean they are born that way; love can change everything and everyone. Wynnie continues to prove why she is the wisest adviser the king has ever had and that thinking differently than others is a great reward.

Wynnie finds an egg and everyone is surprised when a baby dragon comes out. Frightened of what could happen, Wynnie is told to get rid of the dragon. She begs the King to let her train the dragon and he gives her one day. Can she tame the beast? A very cute children’s book.

I had my 10 year old niece read this one at our sleep over and she really thought it was cute. It may be geared towards a little younger crowd but that didn’t matter to my niece. Now she’s asking for a pet Dragon but we’ll overcome that some how haha. This was a cute story that has an underlining lesson about love and acceptance but also teaching. The pictures are cute and engaging. The storyline easy to read and follow. I love finding children’s books with great life lessons mixed in. Five stars and highly recommended.

Wynnie and Lem find an unusual egg on the wall. After it hatched she not only discovered it was a dragon she also had to train it. As she promised the king she would, he gave her 1 day to do just that. Such a fun story to read. Watching the smiles on the children’s faces was well worth the time to read this book. Learning to love, to train and treat others with love is a big lesson to learn. So is keeping promises. This author laid it out plain and clear so the children could understand the story. They could also ask questions and feel free to go further in discovering the world of Dragons. Another must have in every child’s library.

Wynnie finds an egg while out walking. At first she is warned not to let it hatch but once it does she finds an adorable baby dragon. Not everyone is pleased though as dragons have a reputation of being destructive. Wynnie believes differently though and has a plan to prove everyone wrong.

Great illustrations, I thought this was a fun read that showcases how not everything is as it seems.

I am really enjoying the stories with Wynnie, her brother Lem and the King. There are always great lessons to learn with Wynnie. Because of this book, I now want a baby dragon. I like that Wynnie showcases that all animals start off unknowing as babies, and that with training, love and support they can learn to live along side of their humans without causing harm. The Wise Old Woman also realizes she was too hasty in her thoughts of the dragon Mera in the beginning as well as the King. Wynnie is a wonderful advisor for the throne.

This is the second in the Kingdom of Mir series. My 7yo son and I are loving this series. We like this one more than the first. It has a baby dragon! As in the first, Wynnie seems to be the smartest in the kingdom, and the most caring. But can she train a wild baby dragon and keep it from burning down the whole kingdom? The pictures are absolutely adorable in this story.

Can I Keep Her? Is the 2nd book in the Kingdom of Mir series. I read it with my 8 year old, and he enjoyed it- loved guessing what would happen next and looking at the illustrations. Wynnie spots an egg on the wall, and wonders what it might be. When it hatches a dragon, she instantly falls in love. But the king and other town folk warn her about the destruction they might cause. Wynnie uses her power of words and trains the dragon to stop lighting fire to everything. Cute book for young elementary kiddos.

Oh, how we love books by this author! My kiddos get super excited every time I bring a book home with her name on it because it means we are going on some kind of adventure! The illustrations in this story are just beautiful and fun. As with all of her books, there are amazing life lessons to be learned within. It is something I have come to absolutely adore about her books because it helps spark conversations in our household about the meaning behind the fun. I highly recommend picking this up for the young ones (and young at heart) in your life to share the adventure!

Can I Keep Her from the Kingdom of Mir Series is a children’s book by Lois Wickstrom. When Wynnie finds a strange egg, she is excited to see what will hatch. The Wise Old Woman tells Wynnie that it is a dragon’s egg and that they should run away, but Wynnie disagrees. This book teaches a great lesson about not prejudging and the importance of showing love. Wynnie shows that if you give grace, kindness, and understanding, you can make a great difference in any situation’s outcome. She shows adults how to show patience and understanding to a misunderstood creature. This book is short and sweet. The illustrations are fun and the lesson is easy for children to understand.

Can I Keep Her? Is part of the Kingdom of Mir Series and we absolutely loved reading this book. This is a wonderfully written children’s book that children ages 5-8 can enjoy. My son loves dragons so we read this book several times and each time he would add something or switch it up. I love how reading her stories ignites my 6 year old sons imagination. It’s wild. Well wynnie is in love with the baby dragon but the baby is going to end up destroying the kingdom. Winnie has one day to train the dragon per the king. Can she train the dragon in one day? We loved the colorful illustrations they brought the story to life. I highly recommend reading this book to find out if she can train the dragon in one day? We look forward to reading more from this Author.

This book is fun, entertaining from start to finish and my kids loved reading it. It is such as well imagined story and the illustrations really bring it to life.
This author really is a complete natural at writing children’s stories and there is not a single one we haven’t enjoyed. This book will again be read multiple times I am sure and has already been thoroughly enjoyed.
