Under the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom

This is a fantastic way to teach children about the battle between germs and our antibodies when we have cuts or grazes. I absolutely loved the rhyming prose and colorful illustrations that accompanied this fun story. A fantastic book by Lois and highly recommended for all ages.

Mr Bonbon wants to catch Annabelle stealing sweets from him so he makes a tempting giant rabbit for her take. I loved this modern alternative take on the old tar baby story. Its a fun story for the young and old alike with bright and colourful illustrations.

Unicorn, Don’t Do That! by Lois Wickstrom – Review by
Dinopotamus Goes to School by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.5 stars
Dinopotamus just wants to fit in with the kids and go to school and learn. He follows them to school one day and participates in the class learning sessions. Some things he has to do a little differently because he is different, but he learns new things and looks forward to going to school again tomorrow.
This book subtly focuses on celebrating differences in people. Dinopotamus isn’t able to do things in the same way the school children do but he adapts and finds a way to still participate. The illustrations show a child in a wheelchair, who also has to learn to adapt.
This is a great way to teach children that sometimes learning in different ways is necessary and that it’s also ok! I love how the illustrations look very child-like in terms of the drawings and the crayon colorings.
Another win for this author in my book!

Dinopotamus Goes to School (Dinopotamus Series) by Lois Wickstrom
Dinopotamus Goes to School is a cute children’s book that children ages 4-8 will enjoy reading. My son is six years old and absolutely loved this book. He loves dinosaurs and was super excited about Dinopotamus and going to school. This author never ceases to amaze me with her creative characters and colorful illustrations that make the story come to life. Dinopotamus shows children that not everyone is same and that’s OK. I highly recommend reading this book and we look forward to reading more from this Author.

There is honestly nothing this inspiring author can’t do. Not only did Lois Wickstrom write this book but she illustrated it also. The illustrations show kids that they can draw their own stories too. My seven-year-old instantly started trying to draw his own Dinopotamus, as soon as we finished the book only, he made it green, his favorite color. An easy-to-read story about acceptance, kindness, and friendship as they all learn together.

Even before we started reading I knew this book was going to be a hit in my house simply because it involved a dinosaur going to school. They both absolutely loved the idea of a dinosaur joining in with classes like all the children. I think they were both a little disappointed the next day when once didn’t turn up in their class.
This author has created yet another brilliant and engaging story that captured the attention of all of us. Although her books are not aimed at my age range I definitely get just as much joy from watching how much my kids love them. I think this one has to be their favourite so far and I might just have to agree with them.

This is the cute story of Dinopotamus going to school. He follows the children around and copies what they do until he comes to a couple of activities he’s not sure of. But the children and the teacher encourage Dinopotamus and he tries his best. I love how Wickstrom is always sprinkling lessons throughout her picture books. This is a really quick reader for your younger littles and a great lesson in kindness and perseverance. I really enjoyed the illustrations as well…they looked drawn in crayon and went right along with the story. This really is another great addition to your kiddos library.

Dinopotamus goes to school was a really cute book that I think would be aimed at the younger children. My grandchildren are older, but I do have one that should be here in the next couple of months. I will be getting this book to read to her after she gets here.
I enjoy this author and the books that she writes, I think you will too.

Dinopotamus Goes to School is the first book in the Dinopotamus series by Lois Wickstrom. It is a interesting children’s storybook, with cute (naïve style) illustrations which accompany the story.
Dinopotamus wants to be like all the other children- but has trouble fitting in due to his differences. The children help him to become included. The story is sweet, with lessons on learning to count, communication, accepting differences, kindness, friendship, determination, and wanting to learn/the joy that can come from learning.
This is a very quick and easy read, my grandson enjoyed the story.
Happy reading.

This is an amazing story of being different and wanting to fit in. Love how the author opens your imagination on how it would be for a dinosaur to be in school. This book touches on some counting and understanding how to communicate in different ways. Recommend for all readers.

The author’s use of simple, clear language makes the story accessible to young readers, while the illustrations bring the characters to life (and very charming child-like drawings). The story’s themes of inclusivity, empathy, and friendship are valuable lessons for children of all ages.
The character of Dinopotamus is particularly well-developed, conveying a sense of wonder and curiosity that is relatable to young readers. His enthusiasm for learning is contagious, inspiring the children to be more open-minded and accepting.

I have been slowly working my way through Loi’s books and enjoying my time reading them with my grandbabies who enjoy them.
Dinopotamus Goes to School is not only a story but this book teaches some counting and differences between each other. It teaches kids to be inclusive with one another, doesn’t matter how many toes or what colour you are. Kids don’t have preconceived ideas at this young age and reinforcement like the messages in Loi’s stories are sorely needed in this day and age.
The colourful illustrations bring this picture book story to life.

What a cute story. He just wants to fit in and be like the kids. They do their best to help him. They even teach him to use a communication device. It almost reminds me of how our kids with autism want to fit in. I loved this story. I find the artwork helps the kids relate too. My grandsons loved it when I read them the story. My younger grandson is very into dinosaurs. He wants a dinosaur to take school. This is another winner for our family library.

Lois is a former science teacher. She has written a series of science-based folktales. 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.

I had my 10 year old niece read this one at our sleep over and she really thought it was cute. It may be geared towards a little younger crowd but that didn’t matter to my niece. Now she’s asking for a pet Dragon but we’ll overcome that some how haha. This was a cute story that has an underlining lesson about love and acceptance but also teaching. The pictures are cute and engaging. The storyline easy to read and follow. I love finding children’s books with great life lessons mixed in. Five stars and highly recommended.

Wynnie and Lem find an unusual egg on the wall. After it hatched she not only discovered it was a dragon she also had to train it. As she promised the king she would, he gave her 1 day to do just that. Such a fun story to read. Watching the smiles on the children’s faces was well worth the time to read this book. Learning to love, to train and treat others with love is a big lesson to learn. So is keeping promises. This author laid it out plain and clear so the children could understand the story. They could also ask questions and feel free to go further in discovering the world of Dragons. Another must have in every child’s library.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wynnie finds an egg while out walking. At first she is warned not to let it hatch but once it does she finds an adorable baby dragon. Not everyone is pleased though as dragons have a reputation of being destructive. Wynnie believes differently though and has a plan to prove everyone wrong.
Great illustrations, I thought this was a fun read that showcases how not everything is as it seems.
What a great informative book. I feel like I just had a science lesson! I loved the rhyming of the story and the little facts also on the page. My 4 year old granddaughter loved me reading her this book. She was more interested in the story and not so much in the facts. The facts will be used and read better by the older children. The illustrations are fabulous and depict the story great.
This is book 2 in The Kingdom of Mir series.
We meet up with Winnie again and this time she finds an egg, it hatches to a baby dragon with a fire breathing problem that needs to be trained. Will she be able to keep the dragon?
The illustrations are cute and colorful, my granddaughter who is almost 4 loved this book and so did I.

Under the Bandage by Lois Wickstrom. This is my favorite children’s author and my 6 year old nephew loves when I buy these books and read them to him. This one is all about boo boos and when you have a son, grandson, nephew or brother we all know how boys always have boo boos. This book is about a young boy who scrapes his knee so he needs a bandage. The bandage has to stay on to keep all the bad bacteria out. This author has the magical ability to teach a science lesson in her stories without you even realizing it. They are magical. Teaching us each phase our body goes thru in healing is just wonderful for little minds. Do yourself a favor and pick up this great story for young kids today!

I am really enjoying the stories with Wynnie, her brother Lem and the King. There are always great lessons to learn with Wynnie. Because of this book, I now want a baby dragon. I like that Wynnie showcases that all animals start off unknowing as babies, and that with training, love and support they can learn to live along side of their humans without causing harm. The Wise Old Woman also realizes she was too hasty in her thoughts of the dragon Mera in the beginning as well as the King. Wynnie is a wonderful advisor for the throne.

This is the second in the Kingdom of Mir series. My 7yo son and I are loving this series. We like this one more than the first. It has a baby dragon! As in the first, Wynnie seems to be the smartest in the kingdom, and the most caring. But can she train a wild baby dragon and keep it from burning down the whole kingdom? The pictures are absolutely adorable in this story.

I always love getting to read books by this author, she always does such a great job writing stories that children will enjoy. She always writes her stories in a way that kids learn new and fun facts, but in a way that is fun and engaging. We have a kiddo who gets a scrap on his knee and he loves playing with his toy soldiers, so soldiers become the metaphor for his injury healing. Kids will enjoy the writing style and the illustrations are definite going to be a great way to keep kiddos focused and excited to learn and see how things turn. As always from this author, another fan favorite story.
