I love this book! I loved that there was an issue that clearly needed to be resolved. I loved that the little girl overcame her fears and decided to give it a try and actually did it! She helped the issues on both sides and we love to see that!

This is the tale of the game between Mr. Bonbon and Annabelle where Mr. Bonbon has to come up with a way to get Annabelle to stop stealing the candy from his candy factory. Annabelle is always outsmarting him and she does it again this time. I like how Wickstrom’s stories always have a lesson to be learned in her stories; however, with this story I feel that the lesson is subtle and could possibly be missed by kid and misconstrued into a not-so-nice lesson. I was hoping at the end Annabelle would be remorseful about stealing the candy and she and Mr. Bonbon would be able to figure things out, but that’s not the case. There is a lesson to be learned, but it’s not really done in a way that I feel is appropriate. I really like the illustrations in this story. They are bright and colorful and they follow the story really well.

I loved this story. The owner is trying to teach the young girl about stealing. The story is entertaining, fun and tries to teach a lesson. The characters are witty with their conversation in trying to catch each other. I read this with my grandson. He gave it a 5. I also give it a 5. This is probably our favorite yet. We are still talking about ways to help protect the candy from thieves and how the little old ladies could have helped. It’s a fun story and a great conversation starter to jump start the imagination.

This book reminds me of the books I use to read when I was younger(the artwork style, even the story plot),very nostalgic. I loved it. We usually read this author for story time at night. Which we always enjoy tremendously. It’s always a fun learning experience for them. There is always something you can take away from reading the author’s stories. Like in this we got ‘’ keep trying til you find a the solution ‘’ but your takeaway might different from ours 🥰🥰 can’t wait to continue more of Lois Wickstrom stories

This is a cute little story about a little girl exploring the world of fairies and trying to write their story. The little girl wanted to make sure she did not make anyone mad because of her story, so she took her time to write a nice story. I found the little twist at the end to be really cute. I enjoyed the story and recommend this story for any little girl who loves to read about fairies.

Another marvelous read by Lois Wickstrom! I read this with both of my kids, and we all truly enjoyed ourselves. It was definitely one of the more interesting books that kept us guessing which had us going ‘AHA!’ on the last page. We even read it twice more on the same day to get more of an appreciation with the full picture in mind! I loved the illustrations throughout as they are bright and add much more to the story as both of my kids liked going slower to see each picture clearly. As with most other books by this author, there are underlying life lessons that show up throughout the story. I highly recommend bringing this book into your home to share with your kiddos or even the classroom to get creativity flowing!

This was an absolutely wonderful story to read with both of my kids, ages 8 and 12. Lois Wickstrom is one of our favorite authors, and anytime I bring a book home, my entire household gets excited! We go on such adventures, and this one was no different. The illustrations are a little different from others I’ve read before but still incredibly gorgeous nonetheless. The main character, Wynnie, is such a magnificent role model for a kid’s storybook. She is confident in herself and thinks a little outside the box, which is a great point to encourage in young ones. We enjoyed the creativity displayed in the book, and it sparked some great conversations in the house about our own ideas to problems we encounter. I highly recommend this for not only your classroom, but also to read at home with any kiddos in your life!

This story is a very whimsical and silly story told by a child. It is cute and easy to read with great pictures. I like the way the storyteller weaves the story and questions all the what ifs that could happen. I believe children aged 6-8 would enjoy this story. I look forward to reading to my granddaughter one day.

This book was a cute and simple book about what the narrator thought fairies were like. She wants to write specifically about the Queen of the Fairies but doesn’t want the other fairies to feel left out. The narrator writes about good fairies and bad. She wonders what would happen of the Queen of the fairies got ahold of her book and read it. Would she like it?

I have said it before and I will say it again, I wish Lois Wickstrom was around when my son was younger. He would have loved all of their stories I have read so far.

It is a very simple and easy to read book making it great for kids of a younger age.

There are two Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Mir and the Kingdom of Sher and these Kingdoms have something in common and that is a Lion, each night, the Lion comes from Mir to Sher, however, the problem is that it eats the sheep which belong to the families who live in Sher.

One day the King of Sher announces a competition in which the losers have to give up their most prized possession and the winner will become his Royal Advisor and all they have to do is come up with a plan to “Stop the Lion” from entering the Kingdom of Sher, the solution has to be fair and all entrants must be able to carry out their solution immediately.

What solutions will the contestants come up with and who will win? This is an inspiring tale of the importance of thinking fairly, kindly and peacefully which is told in a charming and beautiful way and will make young children develop their use of imagination to think of what solutions they can come up with to the King’s problem.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A young woman wants to write a book about the Queen of the Fairies, but what does the Queen of the Fairies do? Is it all fun and games with the good fairies, or does she have to keep the bad fairies in line and should she even mention the bad fairies at all, or will they feel left out and do mean things to her like play tricks on her, or even steal her story?

This is a wonderful little story about writing a story and the internal debates every author goes through, but in an easy to read way that will inspire any budding author to write their stories, while also showing the importance of the delightful illustrations which go along with it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m not sure if it was meant to be funny, but Unicorn, Don’t Do That! had me laughing out loud. It is a very colorfully illustrated, rhyming book about Stega. She is half unicorn and half stegosaurs, and has been invited to a party. She is stuck on what gift she should bring to the party, worried that her gift won’t be good enough.. Many of the other attendees make their own gifts, but Stega has no weaving or carving skills. She instead decides to bring food, but that leads to be a struggle as well, as she accidently eats all the snacks she’s gathered. She arrives at the party, and just the wrong time…. or maybe the right time…. either way, her gift is a surprise!
I love that even though Ada tries to shame and make fun of Stega, Benny is a true friend and stands up for her.

This was a nice short kids book about a unicorn who went to her friends party and along the way attempted to gather different foods as a gift, but kept accidentally eating them all. Then she ended up pooping a rainbow outside of her friend’s house. Colorful illustrations, rhyming words for engagement. Any kiddo thats into unicorns or poop will enjoy this story.

When I was a kid, my grand mom used to tell me story about a sher, which wanted to eat a cow. But the cow said it has to tend to it’s calf and she will come back the next day. That was a story about trust. When I read this book, it reminded me of that childhood story. In this book, there is a lion which keeps crossing the border to eat the sheep. The king announces a reward to anyone who finds the solution to the problem. But when a little girl comes up with a solution, she is disregarded at first. But later the king allows her to try. This book is a reminder to everyone that we should not rush to judgement and anyone can make a difference no matter how little they are.

A wonderful story for the little ones. Loved it.

Beautiful art work, Stega is such a sweet and lovable character. I am not really sure I understand all the talk about pooping rainbows, but it looks pretty. It was nice to see Benny being accepting of his friend and her poop, even when Ada was making fun of her. Stega is so sweet when she shows up to the party but missing a present, she is so distraught.

The two main characters are a candy shop owner and a thieving child. The title cleverly comes into play. The young thief is thwarted when a marshmallow rabbit she swipes puts her into a sticky situation. When confronted, the little thief has an attitude that reminds me of Brer Rabbit. Clever thinking gets her out of the sticky situation, but the consequences of her actions will probably sadden her.

As the lion from the kingdom of Sher keeps eating the sheep from the Kingdom of Mir. As the King asks for help, many came forward but did not work. Reading the story will tell you what happens next. This author has such a great imagination. I really enjoy reading her stories. My grandchildren look forward to reading her books as well. The is always something to learn, discover, and talk about in her stories. We are looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Queen of the Fairies is a children’s book designed for children between the ages of 4 and 8 years of age. It is about a little girl who wants to write a book about the Queen of the Fairies. She realizes that she cannot just write about good fairies because if she writes just about the good fairies, then the bad fairies might play tricks on her. The bad fairies might even decide to take the book that she is writing about the fairies and then the Queen of the Fairies will never get to see it see it. This is a cute story with a surprise ending that was fun to read. The bright colorful illustrations really bring the story to life. Another wonderful book by this talented author.

The illustrations of this book were whimsical and colorful. The story teaches how sometimes the best advice can come from the least expected place. It also teaches how sometimes, taking chances can be worth it in the long run. It shows how bravery and friendship is often better than fighting or causing problems. I read this with my 7yo son and he enjoyed it.
