Fun story for nap time, with a twist of science. I love the discovery Dinopotamus makes as he helps the children to keep warm at nap time. I think your children will love this story as much as mine did. The pictures are nicely done and the story is easy to follow. The author shows her love for our children with the stories she writes. She is so creative and her open-ended stories are always fun to read. Where is your warm spot for nap time?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
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?

Happy reading.

In this story Dinopotamus is taking a nap. When he gets up, the children in the classroom notice that his nap spot was super warm and cozy so the next day they want to nap there. But it’s not warm and cozy anymore. Dinopotamus uses his heat vision to help solve the mystery of finding a warm nap spot for the kids in class. This story was very cute and with hand drawn illustrations this makes it very cute and accessible to younger kids as well!

Lois Wickstrom really knows what she’s doing by now when it comes to children’s books and them being educational in a child friendly, easy to understand way. Dinopotamus was super friendly, caring, and just wanted the best for his friends during nap time when everyone began to wonder why dinopotamus’ spot was so warm and how they could find the warmest spots to nap in. They had to look no further. I really enjoyed the hand drawn illustrations. They made the story seem more personal and child friendly.

Orange forest rabbit is 3 short Mysteries chapter books in one purchase. Which was perfect for us. My oldest little one used these stories to practice reading chapter books, and read it to the younger one. They enjoyed the adventure these stories gave during their reading time. They looked forward to reading every night to see how one adventure would end. We can’t wait to see what other adventures the rabbit Gregory goes on. As always I look forward to reading more books by Lois Wickstrom Ps lol the Littles loved the word sassafras. They thought it was a fun word.

Dinopotamus Solves a Mystery is another clever children’s book by Lois Wickstrom I’m pleased to have on our shelves. As with the other Dinopotamus books, I enjoyed the illustrations.

This is a whimsical story of three mysteries. Lois Wickstrom never fails to write a story that captures the attention of her readers. Whether with a little kids story, or a story for older kids, they are always fun to read. Even “kids at heart” will likely enjoy this book. It has mystery and adventure. It is broken down into three parts which will make it easier for reluctant readers or readers who struggle. It doesn’t take away from the stories at all. It makes for a quick and entertaining read.

Dinopotamus is back with a mystery to solve!! Going to school is one of Dinopotamus’ favorite things and discovering a mystery while napping. The children would love a warm spot to nap along with Dinopotamus, but there is something unique that Dinopotamus can do….what is it you say….definitely read and find out.
This is a fun, engaging children’s story that can for ages 4-8 and can also be enjoyed by the young at heart reading to the little ones. The illustrations are engaging and go right along with the story. Looking forward to more Dinopotamus!

The Orange Forest Rabbit Mysteries is a fun collection of short stories that star The Orange Forest Rabbit. There are three stories that span different genres. Gregory, The Orange Forest Rabbit is joined by his wife Jennifer, and his puppy Robes Pierre. There is an additional colorful cast of characters that join Gregory. This book is very entertaining and has something for everyone. Some of the things we get are sci-fi events, ghosts, and mysteries. This is a fun way to introduce chapters to children. The bite-sized genre swaps help get children into different types of stories. This is a very entertaining book that will entertain adults too.

While Dinopotamus is at school he notices that the children are colder than he is at naptime. He proceeds to figure out how the children can be warm like he is during their naps. This is a cute story that shows children how to solve problems. We watch Dinopotamus try different solutions until he finds the one that works best for everyone. Children get to see a step-by-step guide to problem-solving. The story is short and sweet and will hold their attention. The illustrations are fun as always.

This book takes us on another great adventure with Dinopotamus. This time, he has a mystery to solve. This book was a particular favourite of my sons, probably because it involved some kind of dinosaur reference! He thought it was brilliant watching the children sleep in Dino’s place and kept relating back to his sleep spot at nursery.
This author really has a way of drawing in not only the children, but the whole family who sit down to enjoy it. Her books are always so entertaining yet educational, hitting that perfect sweet spot you could want as a parent. This is a great example of her work and is another we thoroughly enjoyed.

I loved this Dinopotamus story. Dinopotamus is so sweet and caring, he tries to make sure the kids in his class are warm during nap time. He realizes his body heat is what makes the spot he is laying in so warm, and he can use this to keep his friends warm. I love the artwork in this book. It looks as though it was drawn by a child, so it will be very eye catching to a child I think.

Orange Forest Rabbit by Lois Wickstrom and Lucrecia Darling. Lois Wickstrom is my favorite children’s author so I knew I would love this book but wow it was sooo good. You actually get 3 mysteries in one book. My 11 year old nephew truly enjoyed it as much as I did. It all begins with strange happenings on Jennifer and Gregory’s rabbit farm. There is the Mystery of the Missing Meteor Fields Carrots, The Mystery of the Haunted Amusement Park and The Clue in the Airwhale Art. You and your young one can work thru each of these mysteries and try to solve them yourselves. There is fun, family, teamwork and spies. This book is geared toward ages 9-11 and they are so fun. This would make a great gift for the young one in your life. Such great lessons and pictures!

y children and I (especially my 7 year old) love reading Lois Wickstrom books together and I was really excited to find this chapter book. I liked that it was comprised of three different stories with cute, enjoyable characters. I do wish there was a picture here or there even as a chapter book. I have one young reader and a lover of graphic novels so that would be a fun addition. The kids and I looked forward to reading these little mysteries before bed each evening. Another win from this author!

This is a collection of a dozen short stories where there is a scientific mystery presented. At the end of each story there is about a half page synopsis of the science based solution to each situation. This would be a great tool for a teacher to use to both introduce and verify scientific ideas in a classroom. Each story is no more than a few pages and easy to read. The explanations are easy to follow as well. Very nice book!

Everyone in my household loves it when I bring a book home by this author. Many of them have been shorter picture books, but we have also found a few chapter books as well. This is kind of in between and has definitely made it to our favorites list! I read this with my 8- and 12-year-old and the first thing they noticed was the illustrations. They are simple yet beautiful, and I feel they are helpful to my younger kiddo who can get distracted easily. The mini mysteries are marvelous in length and content! If you’ve ever had a kid in their ‘why’ phase, this book is a great choice for you. I love it when they ask questions, and this book is here to answer them. We really enjoyed all of the facts after the mysteries and even experimented with some that we noticed. I highly recommend having this in your library, daycare, or home to experience with the young ones in your life!
