Cute book for the kids especially as we introduce Science to them. This is a must read with littles, mine always loves books by Lois Wickstrom and we continue to enjoy them over and over.
Dinopotamus is very caring towards the kids and I love how he keeps them warm at naptime with the “warm spot”. Perfect for our bedtime/naptime routine

It is the end of nap time at Dinopotamus’s school, but he doesn’t want to wake up because his spot is so warm, however, the other kids in his class want the warm spot, so the next day Dinopotamus let’s them nap there.
Unfortunately, the kids complain that it isn’t warm and so Dinopotamus sets out to solve the mystery of why it is always warm where he sleeps? This is a charming way of explaining a scientific principle which will help young children to understand it.

The simplistic ingenuity that this author uses always amazes me. This is such a great way to teach the kids a little science and also have fun. Dinopotamus is a relatable fun character that will have your kid engaged in the book without even knowing they are learning.

This is an author that I never pass up, and my kids make sure of it! We have read several books by them, and somehow they all stand out in their own accord. We loved reading the other books with Dinopotamus as they are fun and educational. This one was no different! I truly appreciate the way that different communication methods were presented in this story combined with the scientific side. Even though my kiddos are older than the target audience, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This would be a perfect addition for the classroom, daycare, or even at home!

This is a cute book, for young kids who love dinosaurs. Dinopotamus is a dinosaur who attends school with human children. Though he cannot talk, he finds ways to communicate with his teacher and classmates. When he realizes that his spot on the floor is warmer after he wakes up from naptime, he sets out to figure out why it’s happening and how to help his classmates to have a warmer spot for their naps. First he tries trading spots, but finds that to be unhelpful. Then he figures out how to help them all. The illustrations are cute, and look to be hand drawn, and the story is easy for children to understand while teaching children a little bit about science and sharing.

I enjoyed this book. It is part of a series about Dinopotamus and how he interacts with his friends. I love how this series shows inclusion of Dinopotamus who is different than the others. The children are not scared of Dinopotamus and they learn from him and make sure he is included in all of the activities. I recommend this book and series for children who love to read.

This was a cute experiment book for kids. The draws resonated towards my kids when I read this because it was in a style that they would be drawing right now, they were super excited that they even draw some pictures of there to go with the book after. The illustrations did go very well this book, and really made the story more vivid to what was going on. This follows a dinosaur that wonders why the ground around him gets warm, the examples and experiments that they go thou were very interesting to read about and how the figure out why the grounds hot. Great kids’ book, I like books that my kids can make up their own ideas on what’s going on and their ideas to figure something out.

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery (Dinopotamus Series) by Lois Wickstrom. This is another amazing installment by Lois Wickstrom. I love all of her books. My 6 year old nephew and I read this together and we both loved it. Its about Dinopotamus discovering that when he gets up from where he has been sitting its warm so he leaves it for the other children to take a nap. So the whole class sets out to discover where the warm spots are. Trying to fit in is hard but with this one thoughtful thing Dinopotamus makes friends with the whole class. These books are so cute and sweet and always have a real life lesson in them. They make wonderful gifts for families or teachers too. My nephew and I are super fans of this author!

It’s nap time at school and Dinopotamus hears the other students talking about how the floor is warm where Dinopotamus is napping. Why is the floor always warm where he lays and not where the other kids lay? This is the mystery Dinopotamus wants to solve. Another cute children’s book!

Dinopotamus is with his friends at school again and it’s naptime. The kids are all lying on the floor and it’s a bit cold where they are. However, where Dinopotamus is, the floor is nice and warm. No one can figure it out until Dinopotamus uses his scientific reasonings of deduction to come to the proper answer.
This is a cute story that kids will love. It has scientific elements in it taught by a dinosaur! There was one section where I felt like it was repetitive but maybe it was felt that it was needed there. A very enjoyable story and another winning read by Lois Wickstrom!

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery is a cute book but we wish it had better illustrations. I think it is a good effort for the author, who likely drew the images herself. The story is good and I like the diversity of the children. While it is a cute story, my 8 year old pointed out a animal who puts off heat likely wouldn’t have heat vision. But I soon reminded him a Dinopotamus is not a real animal so anything is possible. I love how thoughtful Dinopotamus is and how well the school children and teacher accepted him into their class. We have read other books in the series and they are all adorable.

This was a cute and quick read that would be perfect for young kids. I love that the illustrations look like drawings colored with crayon. The class Dino, that can see heat spots the children can not, solves how to keep the children warm for their nap time.

Cute read about helping others. Everything about the Dinopotamus series is amazing the easy to comprehend stories for all ages and how they always involve so many life lessons in them. This one was no different Lois Wickstrom shows not only how to help others, Dinopotamus making a warm nap spot for the children but also alternate forms of communication. Just because someone or something can’t talk doesn’t mean they can’t communicate with you in other ways if you just pay attention. My younger son was nonverbal until he was three, currently seven and he loved this book, and remembers using sign language to communicate in other ways.

I would say the book is aimed for ages 7-12 years old. The stories are a great combination of mystery, sci fi and fantasy. I would say they are a great introduction to this genre. As always Lois writing is incredible and really pulls you in.

My household loves it when I bring another book home by this author, and this was no exception! We have read so many of their picture books for younger readers, but the chapter books such as these have been so amazing. My kiddos are 8 and 12 years old so they are the perfect target audience for this wonderful book. Even though I am far past the target age range, I definitely enjoyed reading this as well. There are three short mysteries inside this book and they were all great adventures. The author does an amazing job setting the scene and developing characters and plot well enough for an intriguing story, but still at the proper level for kiddos. I highly recommend picking this up and sharing with the younger ones in your life. You will find yourself enjoying it just as much!

Gregory, his wife Jennifer, and their dog Tobes Pierre are faced with 3 intriguing mysteries. In this book each mystery is its own chapter and Gregory must use his smarts to solve each one. Older kids (upper elementary and middle) will enjoy using their own skills to try and solve each chapter alongside Gregory the Orange Forest Rabbit and his team. The chapters are engaging and easy to read. This is a good book for older readers!

I have to start off by saying my kids really enjoyed this book, they were right into each story and mystery trying to solve it before the end of the story. This children’s book is for kids 5 and up. This is a chapter book with three mysteries to solve in this book, first the mystery of the missing meteor fields, all a meteor that hits a carrot field and what happens. The mystery of the haunted amusement park, what is happening at carrot world. The clue in the airwhale art, a carrot ship that has a mystery of its own watching. These books also had little life lessons into the stories that weave into each story together perfectly. Each story was very well written that you could almost see what is happening in the story. Very easy to understand and read.

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery is the second book in the Dinopotamus series by Lois Wickstrom. It is an interesting children’s storybook, with cute (naïve style) illustrations that accompany the story.
In this instalment, Dinopotamus investigates why the floor where he slept yesterday was so lovely and warm, so why isn’t it warm today?
The story also imparts lessons in problem solving, friendship, kindness, and consideration.
This is a very quick and easy read, and my 3 year-old grandson enjoyed the story.
The Series Consist of:
-Dinopotamus Goes to School (Book #1)
-Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery (Book #2)
-Opposite Day For Dinopotamus (Book #3)
Happy reading.
