How to Make a Flying Carpet (Alex, the Inventor Book #2) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Angela Hayes

How to Make a Flying Carpet (Alex, the Inventor #2)How to Make a Flying Carpet by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

How to Make a Flying Carpet is the second book in Alex, the Inventor series by Lois Wickstrom. It is an illustrated children’s story about making a flying carpet. It includes some science on magnets, magnetic fields, Earth’s Magnetic field, and what makes metal magnetic. Alex is an inventor and likes to make useful things out of unused and ‘old’ items. So we follow along as she brainstorms ideas for making things, and get to see her invent things.
This is probably the ‘wordiest’ of Ms. Wickstrom’s books that my grandson and I have read, so far. But it did inspire him to want to try to make his own ‘flying carpet’- so it did capture his imagination.

Happy reading!

What a fun story that helps teach the science of magnets. I found the paper clip trick to be the most exciting trick that I want to try. My grandson wants to try everything with magnets. He loves magnets and this story just helps build his interest. A fun story written for the curious child. The information at the end of the story helps teach the child more about magnetism. It’s a fun book that helps your child learn and discover more. My grandson said his favorite fact that he wanted to learn more about was why magnets repel each other. Another fun and terrific book.

Lois Wickstrom lives in a world where imaginary playmates are real. She doesn’t remember being born, so she finds unbirthdays are more exciting than the official once-a-year date on the calendar. She’s taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales.

She writes by herself. She writes with co-authors. She asks illustrators what they would like to draw. If she ever writes her autobiography, the title will be My Life as a Group Project.

Her mother used to get angry with her for daydreaming. Her little sister picked on her. So she lived in books and wrote her own stories in which the bad-guys made sense, and the good-guys had a chance. As she has grown older, her imagination has grown weirder. Even she doesn’t know what she will write next.

Lois is a former science teacher. She has written a series of science-based folktales, and turned some of them into plays. In each modernized tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending because of learning scientific principles. Lois likes to garden, ride her bike with her husband, cook, and she votes in every election.

Little Red, the Detective (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

Lois Wickstrom has crafted an excellent book that has a unique twist of science and folktale. In this book, Little Red’s grandmother asks her to bring her some flowers for tea and to come for a visit. On the way to grandmother’s house Little Red stops to search for the correct flower, but will the cunning wolf trick her into gathering the wrong flower? Will this wolf have grandmother for a yummy snack like many other spin-off books of Little Red Riding Hood? Can Little Red outsmart the wolf and have a great visit with her grandmother? To find out, read Little Red, the Detective: a science folktale.

I always enjoy looking for connections to make with student learning for teaching. This book would be great for the beginning of spring during the middle part of a plant unit. Children can create their own plant identification journal, notes can be taken about the plants, and a research project could be completed about a favorite plant. There are so many fun activities that could be completed like flower pressings for the plant identification journal. Another topic could involve All about Using Plants- this would include plants to eat, how plants can help heal people, and other uses for plants.

An interesting take on the Red Riding Hood story which incorporates science.
The book was illustrated wonderfully, which is great for kids. The story line follows the typical Red Riding Hood tale but includes science. The importance of checking flowers and fingerprinting is shown in the story to help Red along the way.
It doesn’t go into excessive detail as the story is for children and I think the author found the right balance to get kids interested, but not overwhelm them.
I would recommend this book for those with kids

Little Red is going to visit her grandmother. Grandma asked her to stop to find coneflowers on her way. So Little Red sets off with her identification booklet. Just as in the original story, a wolf meets up with Little Red and plays his tricks. I love reading Lois Wickstrom’s childrens books as she ties in learning with great stories and fabulous illustrations. Highly recommend her books if you have little ones that you are reading to at home or at school!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Maureen is asked by her Grannie to come visit so she can measure her for a new sweater she is knitting for her. Maureen loved the last sweater her Grannie made for her so much that she wore it all the time. She wore the red sweater so much that her friends and family started calling her Little Red.

When Little Red sets off into the woods to visit her Grannie, she stops to look for purple cone flowers to take for her Grannie to use for tea. There are so many similar looking flowers that Little Red is unsure which is the one she is looking for. When a wolf comes along and asks her if he can help Little Red figures that she will accept his offer because he would know better than her. The wolf picks out some cone-shaped purple flowers and hands them to her. As Little Red is taking out her plant identification book to identify the flowers, she realizes the wolf has vanished. She continues on to Grannie’s house, but Grannie has vanished. It is now up to Little Red to solve the mystery of where Grannie went.

I loved the author’s cute twist on the classic version of the story Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red has some sleuthing skills under her belt and uses those to save her Grannie from the big bad wolf. Young kids will learn about science and fingerprinting in this story. This book had a bit of mystery and sense of danger to it with an underlying message about how it is unsafe to talk to strangers. As always, the illustrations were beautiful and really brought the story to life.

3 Stars

Little Red, the Detective is the fifth book in the Science Folktales series by Lois Wickstrom. This is an illustrated children’s fantasy story- a reimagining of the classic fairytale, Little Red Riding Hood- where Maureen (aka Red) does a little investigating to find out what happened to her Grandma, with a little adventure along the way.
The story has some mystery, investigation, drama, lessons, science, a wily wolf, Red’s missing Grandma, cookies, flowers, knitting, fingerprinting, and animal control- this also has a bit of a ‘darker’ tone than some of Ms. Wickstrom’s other children’s books.
Again, this is one of her books where the internal illustrations are not of the same quality or style of the cover image- as the internal illustrations are a little more naïve, simplistic, bland, and somewhat boring…. which was a little bit of a letdown. They just don’t grab and hold your attention like the cover image does, so I feel like they let the story down. I think in a more whimsical style story those types of illustrations might work- but they missed the mark here, especially considering the ‘darker’ tone of the story too.
The Science Folktales Series contains (so far):
-Chicken Little (Book #1)
-Huff…Puff…Grind! The Three Little Pigs Get Smart (Book #2)
-Fee, Fi, Fo, Grow! The Real Magic of the Beans (Book #3)
-Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines (Book #4)
-Little Red, the Detective (Book #5)
-Just One More Egg (Book #6)
-The Dwarves’ Dilemma (Book #7)
-Saving the Gingerbread House (Book #8)

As you can see, there’s lots to explore in this series- plenty of adventures to take, and things to learn along the way.

Happy reading…

Little Red gets a call from her Grandma to come for a visit. Grandma is making a new sweater and needs to make sure it’s going to fit properly. Grandma requests that Little Red pick up a certain flower to bring to her for making tea. Little Red has a book that will help her identify the proper flower. Along the way to Grandma’s, Little Red comes across a wolf who tricks her with some flowers. These flowers are not in Little Red’s book so she keeps looking while the wolf pays Grandma a visit.

I found this book to be cute. I even laughed out loud at one point. This book might not be for super young readers though as they may find the wolf too scary. I like how the focus is on using a book to identify different types of flowers. Grandma also uses those flowers to make tea. This is a great book for encouraging nature walks, flower identification, and using natural resources in ways that might not have been thought of otherwise.

I enjoyed reading this book to my preschoolers. My little 3 year old actually loves it and has been asking me to read it a few times already. This book is about Maureen ( little Red ) setting off to grandma’s house. She encounters a wolf who tries to delay her from visiting grandma but thanks to her flower identification book it does delay her but she’s able to save the day.

Beautiful illustrations enhance, rather than distract, from the story. The story length is perfect for little ears, and is different enough to keep kids interested in from the original tale.

As an adult, I enjoyed the slight twists in the tale the author chose (picking flowers, turning her into a detective, and how Little Red gets granny back). As an educator, I liked the inclusion of things like the flower identification guide and fingerprinting identification guide to turn into lessons easily that coincide with the story. I loved the ending as well, and I could see kids writing a tale about the gift she gets next and what adventure Little Red has on her next trip to her grandmothers.

Little Red is a fun twist on the classic. Lois Wickstrom does her very best. Great illustrations in the book make it a great read. Lois teaches the kids how to tell a person from another by fingerprints. This knowledge is something most kids don’t learn for years. Great story.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Little Red, The Detective is a retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood” but with a detective twist. A girl named Maureen who everyone calls red because of her red sweater she loves to wear (even though her hair is red) is asked to go see her Grandma. Her Grandma is knitting her a new sweater and needs to measure her. Grandma asks her to grab a special flower for tea on her way over. So as Red is walking in the woods she is looking for this flower; she uses her detective book to look at the picture to compare. While walking she can’t seem to find the flower, but all of a sudden a friendly wolf approaches with a bunch of flowers claiming they are the right ones. Red doesn’t believe him, but it gives him time to get to Grandma’s to eat her before Red gets there. She finally finds the right flower and heads to Grandma’s. When she gets there she realizes something is wrong but uses her detective skills to realize that the wolf is there and not Grandma. Red makes a special tea that makes him spit Grandma out. Then they drink tea and take Red’s measurements for her new sweater. I don’t really know what to say about the book. This author produces cute kid’s stories, but I also find them odd. The story always tends to move fast and skip detail so it always just seems rushed to me. Then the ending just seems anti-climatic and strange.

Once again I have read another great teaching book by this author. I really wish my children were young enough to read these. This series is a great learning tool for kids. I cannot reccomend this series enough. I really found that the author’s use of a well known fairy tale and the way in which she has enhanced it was a great way to engage kids and help them to get interested in learning.

The story although a classic is refreshed in this unique telling. I really would get this book for a child between 5 and 9. It really draws the attention of the reader and shows them a fresh way to look at the subject. I will definitely refer this series to friends with kids.

We enjoyed this book. It’s a scientific twist in Little Red Riding Hood. Plus, it fit in nicely with our forensic science course. Instead of plants, we’re doing animal tracks, but this has got them interested in plants now as well. A little gross where the wolf vomit is concerned but still an enjoyable read.

As we all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood. That may be true. Little Red is off to grannies house. No talking to strangers and “Please pick me some flowers for my tea.” This author did so much more with the story. She made it more about plant discovery and their uses. Which once again gets the children out of the house. There are all kinds of flowers within our neighborhoods. With Spring here new plants and flowers are blooming. What a great time to pick up this book and enjoy the adventure that this author has planned out for her readers. I must say this author has impressed me every time she plans out her stories. My grands have loved each of this author’s story. The projects that follow are amazingly fun as well.

Little Red is Lois’s retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. It is another fun tale in the Science Folktales series. Children will not only to enjoy reading about Red adventures but will actually learn as they go.
Red sets off to visit Granny and encounters a wolf along the way where the two find plants and flowers and a little bit of scientific learning along the way. Red must use her detective skills to thwart the wolf and make sure Granny is safe.
There is a little science, a little mystery and a twist or two that children 4 – 8 years old will be delighted with this story. The colourful pictures are bright and will pull little eyes and minds in to the story.

Oh my goodness, I loved this story with it’s teaching about the conehead flowers. I did think the wolf vomiting was a touch ick, but if you drink the right mix of tea, it will cause vomiting. In this case, it rescued grandma. Looking at fingerprints to find out that the wolf was grandma was an exciting addition. We actually went down the rabbit hole with this one and did our own finger prints. It made for a fun discussion about them. So much to learn. This was a fun story that taught about the flowers, and tea. It also taught about rescuing grandma and taking care of her. All wonderful lessons and values to learn. Another wonderful story for storytime.

Little Red is Learning to be a Detective. And Grannie is Teaching her to Identify Plants.

Grannie asks Little Red to bring her some cone flowers to make delicious tea. While Little Red is walking through the woods to Grannie’s house, she meets a wolf who gives her a bunch of cone-shaped purple flowers. She thanks the wolf and then gets out her plant identification book. While she is comparing the flowers to the pictures in her book, the wolf trots along down the path.

When Little Red arrives at Grannie’s house, she senses things aren’t right. Little Red must use her new detective skills to determine if Grannie is who she says she is. She already knows the flowers the wolf gave her weren’t cone flowers.

Red comes up with a plan to help save the day – all with a little help from science.

Pulling Together by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jamie Burns

I absolutely love the message, “We all pull together” that is evident throughout this book. Lois Wickstrom has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her illustrator, Janet King does a wonderful job of bringing the story to life with the illustrations! Lila is spending time with her Grammie who is putting the finishing touches on a poncho just for Lila. At first Lila is not too sure about the poncho, but it ends up pulling her and others together. Pulling Together is one of my favorite books with an Important message that even though something might not seem great at first, it can all come together well in the end. Another thing that can be learned is to forgive others and bring them close. Wrap up with your favorite cozy jacket, poncho, or blanket and enjoy this sweet book!

Grandma is knitting a poncho for Lila but it’s no ordinary poncho. This one has three heads! Lila is confused but Grandma keeps saying, “We all pull together!” Lila goes out to see her friends. They aren’t as kind as they should be about her poncho but when the things get tough, the poncho will pull everyone together.

I love how this story features a grandmother knitting her grandchild something! I am a crafter and I can appreciate this sentiment so much! Many times things are gifted that aren’t immediately appreciated but then something happens and the thing that the receiver thinks they didn’t want becomes a treasure. I love the relationship that Lila has with her grandmother too! There’s nothing like a grandmother!

This is a great book to read with your favorite youngsters about friendship and bullying. It’s also a great lesson in respecting those around you, including elders. I highly recommend this one!

I’ve read several books by Lois Wickstrom and I love the way she weaves important messages/ themes within fun stories. Pulling Together is a fun read about pulling together with friends and with people who you may not feel deserve it. This is such a great message and way to deal with someone who was bullying them. The subtle message that grandma didn’t make a mistake but knew what she was doing and how her granddaughter was smart enough to trust and listen to her was touching as well.

I also enjoyed the colorfully rendered illustrations in this book. They make the story come alive so beautifully. I have several books by Wickstrom that I like, but this is by far my favorite.
