Break out the first aid kits for this one. Every child should know how our body works. They also need to know how to take care of their boo-boos. As well as why we must keep them clean and protected. I love the science behind the story. The author has once again written a book with children in mind. The story is easy to read and understand. The history behind the games and toys we played with was also interesting. Another great book and must have for every child’s library.

I really enjoyed the lessons this book taught. I love the fact that when he gets hurt, he counts to three to calm down and then goes immediately to wash the dirt off. I really enjoyed this little book and I think any children will enjoy it too!

I liked this, it was really easy to read and the pictures are so colourful! Mr. Bonbon is determined to find out who his third is so he sets up his plan and just has to wait for them to try again. Thus is aimed at primary school age and teaches valuable lessons they won’t soon forget. I’ve read a few by this author now and I haven’t been disappointed yet!

I thought this was a good book for the kiddos. It explains what happens when you get hurt and need a bandaid to keep it covered. The kids didn’t enjoy this one as much as others but the older one sat and listened while I read the whole book. Short and great colorful photos

Just like the rest of the books that I have read by Lois Wickstrom, this one as well does not disappoint. Always a fun story with wonderful illustrations. This one about the healing of a scraped knee. The fun jingle-ish type rhythm and the more technical explanations on the same page help kids of all ages learn about how wounds heal. Great story !

Under the Bandage is a fun kid book that teaches them about germs and the healing process when they get a cut. We are big fans of this author and enjoy the rhyming stories and colorful illustrations. I like that it had little fun facts added to each page to explain the story and it’s accurate terms of what is happening. My son liked the book because he just learned about cells and antibodies at school recently. I think this book would be enjoyable to younger elementary school kiddos and would be good to add to a lesson plan about first aid and keeping cuts clean.

Under the Bandage By Lois Wickstrom is children’s book that children ages 5-8 can enjoy. We loved reading this book and learning about how our bodies fight off bacteria/infection. We learned about different kinds of bacteria and infections how to treat them. We’ve read several books by this author and we love her colorful illustrations that help bring the story to life. I love that my son actually learns something useful from reading this authors books. We highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. We look forward to reading more from this Author.

My entire household always loves it when I bring home a book by this author! This one had little bits of educational information on most pages but still short enough to keep my youngest’s attention. I struggle with getting him to keep his bandaids on, so this was perfectly timed and right up his alley. The story has rhyming throughout which had us bopping along with the rhythm. I think it was really cool for both of my kiddos to see illustrations explaining how our bodies heal the bumps and scrapes that we get. This is definitely one of our top favorite books by Lois Wickstrom and hope we get to see more like this in the future! I highly recommend picking this up and sharing with the young ones in your life whether that’s at school, at a doctor’s office, or at home.

Mr. Bonbon is tired of the clever little girl named Annabelle stealing his candy. He hatches a plan to catch her in action but when it does what will happen to Annabelle?

This was cute. Annabelle has been able to outwit Mr. Bonbon but has she finally met her match when his plan is put into action? Great illustrations.

My 7 year old daughter has been learning about the human body at school and just yesterday was telling me about the body’s blood cells. I felt that Under the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom would be a great addition to her library. It was cute to see her brain connect things she’s learning while reading a children’s story and it welcomed a conversation about what she’s learned which is always cool. As a pediatric nurse and a mother, I really enjoyed this book.

Marshmallow Rabbit is a cute children’s book that children ages 4-8 can enjoy. My six year old son loved this book so much we’ve read it several times already. The colorful illustrations help bring the story to life. Annabelle is a young girl who loves candy. She loves it so much she takes some every time Mr.Bonbon has a tour. Well he comes up with the perfect plan to stop her from taking his candy. A big Marshmallow Rabbit. She tried to take it but literally the Rabbit stuck to her. Annabelle is a sneaky clever little girl. Did she out smart Mr. Bonbon? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. My son and I love this author and look forward to reading more from her soon.

Annabelle has a major sweet tooth and loves to visit Mr. Bonbon’s candy factory. Mr. Bonbon learns that Annabelle is pilfering his candy and this makes him very upset. He sets up a trap to catch Annabelle in the act during one of his tours.

This is a cute book but not one among my absolute favorites from this author. It has a Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory air to it. The illustrations are very well done. My favorite page is the one showing Mr. Bonbon laying in his “too small” bed.

Under the Bandage is a fun, engaging and imaginative story. With some of the pages have very interesting facts to learn….the story is told in a rhyme….what can happen after you skin your knee!!
We learn as we follow each page to clean and cover the hurt so it feels better…..but how our body helps the healing.

This was a fun story. The illustrations were very colorful and really brought the story to life. While this book is more for ages 5- 8 years of age even the young at heart while you read to the littles can learn some new things as well and I loved that about this story.

Under the Bandage is a fun children’s story by Lois Wickstrom. The story has an educational component, as it helps to explain our bodies immune response/immune system, how it deals with bacteria/infection (liking it to a battle with soldiers), and the healing process- as well as other interesting facts found on nearly every page…with a list of our body’s main defenses found at the end of the story.
Our little MC skins his knee while playing, so after washing it clean, his mother puts a bandage on it and tells him that it will heal faster if he doesn’t peek- and also tells him that he will need a new bandage put on it every day, for a week. He is very curious about what is happening ‘Under the Bandage’….
The illustrations are really cute- big, bright, bold, and colourful – bringing the story to life and really grabbed my grandchildren’s attention.
The story is told in a rhyming verse, which added an extra element of interest to the overall story.
While the ‘story’ itself is written in a way that is easy to read and understand, the ‘interesting facts’ portion of the story has some ‘bigger’, more complicated words which children may have trouble reading and understanding (but those parts could be skipped over if you wanted, without affecting the ‘actual’ story).
Happy reading…

Under the Bandage is another unique children story from Lois. The story is told in a rhythmic rhyming way that makes the kids want to join in. Not only is there is the main story, but Lois also includes smaller pictures and information facts pertaining to a certain portion of the story.
Follow along as what started out as a scrape turns into a war. A troop of soldiers ready to defend and repair and stop those that are attacking.
What better and fun way to teach little minds and explain what is going on so they are not so worried about scrapes and injuries. But this is what Lois does, she takes a topic and makes it into a bright, colourful and fun learning experience without them even knowing because to them it is just a story.
I would recommend this book for any 5–8-year-olds. Have fun reading.

If you read any of my reviews, you know I’m a huge fan of Lois Wickstrom! Of all the books I’ve read by her, this one is, hands down, my ABSOLUTE favorite….so far!! She writes so well that this one might be demoted at some point but it will take a lot.

This story features a young boy who loves toy soldiers. One day he has a boo-boo on his knee and his mom puts a bandage on it. The story talks about how the toy soldiers and engineers are working to put his skin back together.

I absolutely love the analogies used and I wish I would have had this book back in my nursing days. I would have read this to every one of the kiddos I took care of! The author goes a little further in depth in this story by telling about some of the bacteria that invade the body. There are some larger words here but it’s great learning for kids and adults alike! She also stresses the necessity of handwashing!

I love that this book releases today in the midst of National Nurses Week too!

“Under the Bandage” by Lois Wickstrom is a fascinating and informative story that will help children understand the process of wound healing. The story is told from the perspective of a young boy who has skinned his knee and is forced to wear a bandage by his mother.

The use of personification, such as comparing the bacteria to enemies and the construction crew to workers, helps to make the concept more accessible and memorable for young readers. The illustrations accompanying the story are also helpful in visualizing the different stages of wound healing.

This book is an excellent resource for children who have experienced wounds or injuries, as it helps to demystify the healing process and reassure them that it’s a normal part of getting better. The story also encourages children to ask questions and seek information about their own bodies, which is an important aspect of healthy development.

This is the story of how our bodies heal after getting hurt. I absolutely love how Wickstrom is able to take something so scientific and break it down so that not only is it understandable for kiddos but its also fun and entertaining. Our main character has skinned his knee after a fall and his mother puts a bandage on it and tells him not to peek because his body needs to be able to heal. Throughout the story, we learn exactly what our body is doing, phase by phase, as it heals. Wickstrom also includes some sidenotes with interesting little tidbits that are good for more advanced readers. As usual, the illustrations are fantastic and follow along perfectly with the story. This is such a great book to add to your Lois Wickstrom collection.

This story rocks. It makes learning about healing wounds so much fun. The descriptions are really adaptable to a child’s level. The illustrations are so colorful and fun. The information on the healing process is bite-sized. Being an adult, I enjoyed reading this story. This would be a cool book to have in doctor’s offices to help kiddos. It’s a definite in family libraries. You must check this one out.

What’s happening under the bandage?
Mom makes him wear a bandage when he skins his knee. She says “no peeking.” What’s going on under there? It’s a war. His soldiers against the bad bacteria. After the bad bacteria are dead, it’s time to rebuild. Now, the construction crews come in.
It takes lots of work to grow new skin.

Great children’s book for young children. It is very colorful, and the illustrations are very cute. The story tells about Mr. Bonbon is trying to figure out a way to stop Annabelle from stealing his candy from his candy factory. He sets a trap, and she falls for it. Very cute story.

The third book I have gotten my girls from Lois Wickstrom and like always the illustrations are beautiful. I got this book because my youngest loves bunnies, hopping around like one, and thought that’s what it was about but there’s only a small part that has bunnies and it’s just a candy (marshmallow) bunny. I’m not really sure how to feel about this book though and glad my kids didn’t get into this one like they do all of her other books. I feel as if the story is saying it’s ok to steal without consequences because adults will be too lazy to go through with any plans to deter it. My kids are too young to understand that and I did read it in a silly way for them so they didn’t pick up on that, especially when the little girl tricked the adult into getting what she wanted.

Marshmallow Rabbit is a colorful, fun children’s picture book. It is said to be a modern version of Tar Baby, which I was surprised by, because its a pretty controversial story…My son is not familiar with that story, so to him, it wasn’t an issue. Mr. Bonbon owns a huge candy factory, and a naughty young girl named Annabelle often comes in, and steals his chocolates and candies. He keeps trying to catch her in the act, and stop her. One night he gets the idea to set a trap! Annabelle falls right into it, and finds herself in a sticky mess- literally. The illustrations are fun and colorful. My son did think Annabelle and Mr. Bonbon were both pretty creative in their schemes. While this wasn’t my favorite story by this author, it was still a fun quick read.

What do you do when you run a candy factory and a little girl helps herself to the candy? Mr. Bonbon has got to come up with an idea to stop Annabelle from taking his candy. Now Annabelle is in a sticky predicament, can she escape or will she get into more trouble. The author gives a great lesson to be learned and a fun story to read. The children will love this story and the pictures as well. The story is easy to read and fast paced. My grandchildren loved this story, just as much as I did. I am in awe of this author and her storytelling talents. We are all looking forward to her next book.

This is a cute little story and I really liked it. Stega has to overcome some issues with other children who don’t understand who she is and what she can do. I was glad to see that her real friends did understand and in fact loved her ability to poop rainbows. I think this is a great story for any child who feels that their special talent is not very important or special. I think it will help them to realize that their talents are equally amazing and their friends will greatly appreciate it and continue to be their friend.
