But when the teacher asks Dinopotamus to bring her the big box, he gets nervous because he’s not your typical student. Opposite Day means you get to break rules and disobey instructions.

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.

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.

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!

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!)

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 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.

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.

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.

But wynnie loves her dragon. The king gives her a day to train the dragon. Will she be able to train the little dragon?

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?

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.

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.

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.

Information on the science of the human body is told in a way to help younger minds understand. Lois Wickstrom astonishes me once again in the way she gives information to young minds. Her creative easy to understand comparisons of how a wound is healed related to war and rebuilding is wonderful. With the extra big words in boxes along the way this book helps have informative moments with your little one in a fun educational way.
