Just another great teaching story, with fun to be had by all. Dinopotamus and his friends are learning about opposite word meanings. Some are easy, but then some can be harder to understand. I love that this author did not use only easy examples. Leaving a thought process for the child and the characters in the story. Opening up more conversations between the reader and the students. In my opinion there is another better than a book that leaves room for more learning. After the story has finished. This is another book that belongs in every child’s library. I hope you enjoy the story as much as we did.

Flying at recess is such a cute book. Soara and her friends Lulu and Zanie do everything together. Except at recess, Soara goes up to the sky. She flys with butterflies, touches the puffy clouds.

Opposite Day for Dinopotamus is a kids book. I love this book because it is educational for kids. While reading this book they can learn about opposites. The teacher gave the students instructions, but they had to do the opposite of what she said. I really liked the pictures in this book because it looks like someone actually colored in the pages.

Another cute story with Dinopotamus. What kid doesn’t love a story about a dinosaur? I love the art work in here by Lois Wickstrom. She always has fantastic illustrators. In this book, she was the illustrator! Today is opposite day and the kids in class must figure out what is the opposite of what the teacher says to do.

This was a cute little story about a little girl who can fly. It was a good little story about friendship and acceptance of others. I think that children who have great imagination will enjoy this story. I have read other stories by this author and highly recommend them to parents who have kids that love to read

This book can relate to how children can use their imagination during recess. The illustrations are very colorful and can capture the reader’s attention. The story is very easy to comprehend, and shows how children can do the normal things during the day.

The illustrations of this book are very unique. Reading each page does make the reader think of the opposite (i.e. shut is open on opposite day). Opposite day does bring much joy to the characters in the book.

Today is Opposite Day at school and Dinopotamus is all excited. That is until the teacher asks him to “bring me the big box”. Oh no! Does she mean don’t bring the box? Bring the small box? Or not a box, but another shape? This was a cute story that will entertain young readers.

Opposite Day for Dinopotamus is a fun children’s book with unique illustrations. It likely follows the book Dinopotamus Goes to School, but they are unique stories. Dinopotamus goes to school and the teacher declares today is Opposite Day! The teacher has some silly commands for the kids to enjoy, as well as some tricky requests to direct them toward fun learning. My son thought it was fun and silly that some of the words were written upside down, with fun fonts, and in quote bubbles from the children illustrations. The illustrations look like they were drawn in crayon, which is unique. Silly fun book for younger readers.

Another cute story by this author!
This time it’s opposite day for Dinopotamus! He’s so excited to go and be a part. In this opposite day you are allowed to break the rules instead of following them… but only if you do it right!
This is a easily engaging story allowing children to explore their imagination and consequences of decisions and actions made with cute illustrations to keep the pages turning.
My daughter who’s 6 enjoyed this one immensely!

Flying at Recess by Lois Wickstrom. This is my favorite children’s author and my 6 year old nephew and I have enjoyed all her books. This one is no different. The books are always fun and have great pictures. This is the story of Soara a little girl who flies at recess where she can hang with the butterflies and fly over the trees. The only rule to flying at recess is you have to be back before the bell rings. One day Soara gets caught up looking at a butterfly and gets off track. Will she be able to find her way back to school on time? Full of imagination and fun for your elementary age child they will love to read about Flying at Recess. Add this wonderful book to the child in your life’s library!

This is a cute story that explores the meaning of opposite. I like this series because it shows acceptance of individuals who are different and including them in the activities that are happening. I think many children will find this story interesting and I recommend it as something to read to your child. The author has a few series available for children that are fun and interesting. I think parents should check them out if you have children that love to read.

Another adorable book from Lois Wickstrom. I have read so many books by her with my son. We always thoroughly enjoy them. This one is about a little girl who disappears and flies at recess time. Her best friends know shes is there, though they can’t see her. One day, she flies farther than usual. Will she make it back before recess ends? Read to find out!
I have to add, I love the reaction of the teacher. If you have kids, I highly recommend picking up a book or two, or 7 from Lois Wickstrom.

Flying at Recess is a fantasy children’s book by Lois Wickstrom. Soara is a young lady who likes to fly. We get to go along with Soara as she flies high over the trees and hangs with the butterflies. The only rule is that Sora can only fly at recess. This book is sweet and easy to follow. It shows how you can do anything if you use your imagination. It also shows the benefit of boundaries, so you don’t miss out on important things like school and time with your friends. The book will allow children to use their imaginations like Soara. The illustrations are bright and beautiful.

What another lovely and heartwarming story by an amazing author. As with all of her books, we were hooked in this one straight away. My kids both loved the idea of being able to fly around while on a school break. It was such an exciting prospect to them, they spent the next 10 minutes trying to fly! My daughter in particular was really taken with the idea of flying with butterflies!
This is another fun, engaging and well-illustrated story by an author that is a favourite in our house.

Dinopotamus is tasked with bringing the big box of things to do. When they are tasked with doing the opposite of what they are told it will take a lot of thinking to perform the tasks at hand.

This was an entertaining story that I think children will interact well with. Great fun to be had reading Dinopotamus handle each challenge. Kids will love.

After discovering the first book of the Dinopotamus Series I just had To come back and read this one. This talented author wrote and drew this series which is amazingly awesome! As always I like the Unique character she has created. This book is great for when your Littles are learning what opposite are. There are also a lot of good rhyming words and descriptive words for learning also. I’m looking forward to reading more from Lois Wickstrom and of this series. Also we should definitely do an opposite day here. It seems like it’ll be fun.

Flying At Recess by Lois Wickstrom was a great children’s book with a magical feel. I will admit this book is different than what I am used to by this author but it is a good addition to my 7 year old’s library. My daughter loves butterflies, especially since my mother passed away so flying with butterflies was special to us. I personally loved the illustrations as well.

Another cute Dinopotamus book! Beautiful artwork, and I love the story, the diversity and the lesson so much. Opposite Day is such a fun idea for the class to learn about, and Meg is so compassionate when it comes to Dino thinking the teacher was telling him he did a bad job. The children and teacher interact with Dino so nicely and include him in everything, making sure he understands as well. I would love to read more Dinopotamus stories!

Children’s books are fun and great for our little ones. Soara, Lulu and Zanie are best friends. They spend their recesses together until Soara flies off on another adventure. Only rule is she must be back before recess ends. But when she spots butterflies, she gets side tracked. Can she find her way back to school? Will she get there before recess ends? Once again this author pulled out another fun story for our children’s enjoyment. The story was fun and opened up conversation and imaginations. Keeping our parents engaged in conversation with our little ones. Just one more grand story for us to have in our children’s library.

Opposite Day For Dinopotamus is the third book in the Dinopotamus series by Lois Wickstrom. It’s a fun children’s storybook, with cute (naïve style) illustrations that help to ‘teach’ children what ‘opposite’ means, giving many examples.
Dinopotamus and all his classmates learn to do the opposite of what the teacher says. Having a bit of an adventure along the way.
This is a very quick and easy read. My grandson loves dinosaurs and he enjoyed the story.
Happy reading.

Flying At Recess by Lois Wickstrom is a cute children’s fantasy story with a ‘flying adventure’, friendship, school recess fun, and interesting & colourful illustrations.
The illustrations are really cute and beautifully colourful – bringing the story to life. They really held my grandchildren’s attention.
We follow Soara as she takes to the skies during recess at school. Her friends Lulu and Zanie get a bit worried when she hasn’t returned by the time they need to be back in class. Will Soara make it back safely?
The story was cute, even if it doesn’t make much sense to me – as no ‘reason’ was given for Soara’s ability to fly. Was she daydreaming? Or does she have ‘magical/superpowers’? And if she does have ‘powers’ why not take her friends along for the fun? Why leave them behind? I just felt like the story was ‘unresolved’- but my 3-year-old grandson and granddaughter seemed to like it nonetheless.
Happy reading…

Another great read by a favorite author! My favorite thing about this book (ok, so there are 2 things) is that there is a person in a wheelchair featured. It’s rare that this is seen in a children’s book but so very important as it opens up avenues for conversation. My second favorite thing about this book is the hand drawn and colored illustrations. I feel that it makes this book more authentic.

Dinopotamus is going to school again today but it’s “opposite day”. The teacher instructs everyone to the opposite of what she says. At first, it’s a bit confusing to Dinopotamus, but then it becomes more enjoyable.

A fun way to teach opposites!
