Stop that Lion (Kingdom of Mir Series) by Lois Wickstrom. This is by my favorite children’s author and my nephew and I loved it. Its the story of the Kingdom of Sher & the Kingdom of Mir being neighbors and the Kingdom of Sher’s Lion keeps eating the Kingdom of Mir’s sheep. Wynnie a young girl who lives in the Kingdom of Sher tries to find a good solution to this problem. The King of Mir has tasked his citizens with finding a solution to the problem and whoever finds a good solution will be the King’s advisor. There are always lessons to learn in Ms. Wickstrom’s books and the lesson in this one is understanding and learning to listen. The illustrations are beautiful along with the story, its a perfect book for your young kids!

This book hit all the feels for times long past. The beautiful illustrations the real-world lion eats lambs story all gave the feel of classic Disney golden books. Feeding on the reality that children see the world differently was center stage in this book. Crazy how only a little girl thought to ask questions about the situation in hopes of finding a solution that was fair to all. Wonderful book can’t wait for my next Lois Wickstrom book fix.

Stop That Lion is a good story for little kids. I read it with my 8 year old, and he enjoyed it, but i would say his age is the limit. My favorite was when I read the last page and looked over at him, and he was smiling and said she’s smart! The book is a take on the Lion and the Lamb story. There are two kingdoms side by side. One kingdom has sheep and the other has a lion. The lion keeps crossing over, and eating the sheep. The king asks for solutions to the problem, with the stipulation the solution must be fair. Several people fail, and then Winnie approaches the king with her solution. Initially, she is disregarded because she is a little girl, but she presents her case, and the king allows her to try. This teaches us that you sometimes need to rely on others when you’re in need, and should listen to all, without judgment. The illustrations are bright and colorful and aided the story along.

This was a story that taught about being creative and listening. The young girl learned to ask the King questions first so that she could avoid giving the King her sheep. She wanted to solve his issue. No one else had been able to so they lost their most precious item. She taught the King about friendship. It turned out that he wanted to be friends with the other King. By giving him sheep as gifts, then it became important to keep the Lion out of his kingdom also. The problem was solved. I really enjoyed how the story teaches about problem solving. The pictures are colorful and help teach kids. The story teaches a wonderful lesson. I definitely recommend it.

Stop That Lion is an entertaining picture book for children between the ages of 4-8 years. The illustrations by Timna Green draw the eyes and move the story along beautifully. The story depicts some lessons for young ones as they learn about friendship, peace, selflessness and more. It will be a hit amongst children as it is original and different to other children’s books.
Wynnie is a clever young girl who looks outside the box to help solve a problem that affects kingdoms and one sneaky lion who likes to eat sheep. Will the king take Wynnie’s suggestions to the problem and implement them?
I read this to my grandboys, and they really enjoyed it and came up with some suggestions of their own.

I really enjoyed this book. The King of Mir asks his people to help find a way to keep the lion in the Kingdom of Sher away from their sheep. We journey along watching 2 failed attempts at keeping the Lion out until, a little girl is the one with the plan that works. The King doubts her and her plan and he is pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I love that the little girl, Wynnie is sympathetic to the lion and doesn’t want anything bad to happen to him but, they have to save the sheep in their kingdom.

This is a really cute story about Wynnie and her solution to stop the lion from the Kingdom of Sher from eating the sheep in the Kingdom of Mir. The King of Mir tasks his citizens with coming up with a solution that is fair and the winner will be the King’s Royal Advisor BUT if the solution doesn’t work, then the King will take their most prized possession. Several others try and fail before Wynnie gives her solution. I love how Wickstrom is always weaving in life lessons for her readers. I also really like the illustrations in this book. They are bright and they follow along with the story well.

“Stop That Lion” by Lois Wickstrom is a charming and engaging story about solving problems through creativity and collaboration. The premise of the story, with the Kingdom of Sher’s lion causing mischief in the neighboring Kingdom of Mir, is both humorous and relatable.

The characters in the story, particularly Winnie, are endearing and relatable. Winnie’s determination to save her pet sheep, Paley, and her kingdom is admirable, and readers will root for her as she navigates the contest to Stop the Lion. The King’s willingness to listen to Winnie’s idea and give her a chance to solve the problem showcases the importance of listening to diverse perspectives and working together to find solutions.

The message of the story, that fair solutions and teamwork are key to overcoming challenges, is conveyed effectively through the entertaining plot and well-developed characters. The illustrations by Carol Thompson complement the story beautifully, adding depth and visual appeal to the narrative.
