This is what I call an open ended book. For any childcare settings, a must have for all who read to children. Not only does it come with an exciting storyline, it feeds science minds with hands-on activities. This author has taken simple materials and her characters to bring the child to exploring the world around them. Besides that, the pictures are bright and eye-catching. With mermaids, imaginary friends and human children, it shows we can all come together and explore. A must have for every library. I highly recommend this story and look forward to reading more from this author

This is the cutest story! Trezzie is a mermaid that loves showing her friends tricks with her treasures. Maia and Fig are Trezzie’s human friends that love exploring science. In this book they do different tricks with a cup, water, paper and a mirror. The illustrations are bright and colorful and really make the story come to life!

My kids read this story over and over again and can not get enough. They even loved trying the experiments that Trezzie and her friends did. I love that the story engages kids in learning in a fun way. Kids of all ages can follow along with Trezzie, Maia and Fig!

My 8 and 9 year old daughters loved this book, as they love anything with a mermaid that they can read on their own. My girls love the brightly colored pictures and the easy to read storyline. They also love that they can take the book with them anywhere they take their tablets, as they can access the kindle app. I like that the riddles show kids how to think outside the box and also think for themselves. This is a cute book, and I can imagine kids of many ages liking it.

Not only did I find this book entertaining but it teaches children about science in a fun and interesting way. With fun and colourful characters, the book illustrates a simple science trick that the kids can try at home. A great way to introduce young children to enjoy science. An easy to read book that will keep children captivated.

A very cute science tale. What a fun way to not only teach children science but to bring them to a understanding that just because something is one thing does not mean it cannot also be another. The illustrations are nice and the wording is perfect for grades 2 and up. I will be reading this book to my grandkids for sure.

Mermaid and the Rainbow: Mermaid Science by Lois Wickstrom is an interesting, education, bright, and entertaining children’s story that teaches and inspires children to learn about science. We follow the cute characters on a bit of a science adventure, where the reader is shown science experiments and how to perform them…. So these are things that are easy to do and recreate at home. The characters are cute and quirky, and along with the colourful illustrations, they make the story come to life. The use of fantasy teamed with science, engages both imagination and learning. I think the story is a clever way to teach children about science and make it fun at the same time.
Happy reading!

Science, fantasy, and diversity! Loved it!

A very cute young kids book. It talks about science and the cool things you can do with it. It doesn’t read like the baby books and such that I remember being read (Eric Carlyle, etc.) so I think this would be good for those 4+. Great introduction to science and “experiments.” Enjoyed the additional fantastical aspect of the mermaid being able to come ashore and speak with the two human kids. Loved the diversity and representation depicted as well.

This was a cute read! I think children would really like it and it opens up a way to experiment with some, easy science projects. My only complaint is the character names. I was very confused because there was no explanation on which character was who. So that threw me off just a little bit. My daughter loved the bright pages, but she’s 18 months so she didn’t really understand or care for the story much, which is normal for her age! I can’t wait to read this to her when she gets a little older and hopefully do some water experiments with her as well!

I normally love to read kids books with my 6-year-old, but she wasn’t home when I came across this book. I can’t wait for her to get home and take a bath so I can show her a few magic tricks. She doesn’t always want to learn about science, but she loves magic. I am also going to read this book to her as I know it will encourage and stimulate her creative mind. Thank you to this author for making this book entertaining and educational. Not to mention she has so many more books I am looking forward to exploring.

Colourful illustrations with a story that is more a teaching of experiments and about friendships. I am unsure of the way this author writes. It felt like it quickly jumped from one experiment to another without any real lead in to each one or an explanation as to why things worked the way they did. The story is set for elementary age readers 4 – 7 who I am sure will love to try the things the characters do in the book and not worry about any lead ins.

What a great story and a perfect read to share with my great nieces and nephew. The pictures were colorful and the story was wonderful. Who doesn’t love a mermaid? Trezzie the mermaid has treasures to share with her friends Maia and Fig. You learn with these treasures they are used in different and amazing ways like little “experiments”. This story is overall wonderful!

This book was such a joy to find and share with my daughter! It was educational in a fun cool way. The story was so cute and I loved the characters design. The illustrations are beautiful. My daughter is four and we had a great time learning about tricks and magic. This was such a fun way to introduce some science to her! Every picture we pointed out different colors, counted trees and stripes on shirts, and played games with it. This was such a beautiful read and I’m excited to find more to share with her.

This is wonderfully fun and engaging book for children that was truly a delight to read. I read this with my eldest and she was really interacting with it the whole way through. The book just felt colourful and fun and entertaining. I loved that it felt educational as well, the best combination for a book of this age. This was a great book and I am looking forward to reading it again.

I absolutely LOVED this book, especially because it incorporated science throughout. It took me about 30 minutes to read this to my niece as we had to stop and try out all of the experiments that were presented throughout. It is a great example that anyone can do anything they put their mind to by breaking down some of the stereotypes surrounding “who can do science?” Again, a truly imaginative and wonderful story. Highly recommend!

Well I thought this book was a great book for the kiddos. I’m a nanny for 3 different families. I care for a 1 and 2 year old, a 2 year old and a 4 and 7 year old. I have read this book to all of them. Actually the 7 year old reads it to his little sister. Al the kids really enjoyed it. The pictures are colorful. What toddler doesn’t love a rainbow or a mermaid? Actually one of the little girls have sat with me and heard the book so many times she finishes each sentence for me. Great book. And the kids love it!

I am a big fan of children’s books that teach as they read. This author wrote an entertaining treat for the kids to learn as they read. Trezzie the mermaid and Maia each taught other and Fig lessons about water/air science and rainbows. The illustrations are bright and attention grabbing. The story, whether read by a parent or on their own, is written in such a way that the child may ask the parent if they can try that. This is a fun book for kids and families alike. I highly recommend it. I will be adding it to our library.

This is a great children’s book that I enjoyed. It is full of pictures that made the story interactive and made the characters pop. This is a story about a group of children who perform science tricks from treasures that come from a mermaid’s secret box. As the story goes, the children perform many different tricks that will keep any child engaged reading this book. I enjoyed the pictures and how colorful they were. This is a great story and any child would enjoy it. I highly recommend this book.

Me and my son read this book together. He though at frist we were reading the Little mermaid however when we got into the science prt he enjoyed the book more. It’s a very interesting way to incorpate science into young minds. A great way to get them doing Stem projects we followed the book and done some of the experiment as part of home education.

Lois is a former high school chemistry teacher and former head science teacher at Science in the City Summer Camp in Philadelphia. She has also been an adjunct science teacher at the University of South Florida. Since retiring, she continues to take science classes. Her class in Forensic Biology led to Little Red, The Detective, in which Red is studying fingerprint identification, so she can tell that “Grandma” isn’t who she says she is.

Lois has taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales. She has invented what she calls Science Folktales. In each science-based tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending than the original because of learning scientific principles. She has turned some of these tales into plays for children.

She has also created a series of Mermaid Science stories, which make use of water science.

Lois is married to the love of her life. She has two children and four grandchildren, and a dog. She gardens, rides her bike, and tries to save the planet.
