Fee, Fi, Fo, Grow!: The Real Magic of the Beans (Science Folktales)Fee, Fi, Fo, Grow!: The Real Magic of the Beans by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was another great story written by Lois Wickstrom. It was a classic story but with a twist. A Mother and daughter was struggling to get seeds to make a garden. The daughter traded her cow for 3 magic beans. The world building and characters was good. The illustration matched the wording and had some colors.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have really enjoyed this series. I have read all 3 books. The Vassel of Magic was not my favorite out of them all. The world building and characters was well thought out. The book just didn’t grab my attention as much as the first 2. I still do recommend the series!

Reign: The Rise of the Lich was well written. I do suggest reading the first book first or you will be confused. The world building and characters was well thought out! If you enjoy a good fantasy book, then this book is for you. I recently found a love for shifter books, but this one was different from what I’m used to. It was a great shifting book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has to be one of my favorites written by Lois Wickstrom! The pictures are bright and colorful. I love how the pictures go with the words on the page. This book was about a blind girl who wanted to know what a monster was like. Her sister used her senses to describe it to her. I thought this was a great idea for teaching kids how to use their senses without eyes!

I absolutely love reading books that tell a story about the struggles, horror, and what it’s like going through the civil war. Ten Thousand Shells and Counting was a storying being told of a civil war that took place in the late 20th century. The book was beautifully written. The world building and details was amazing in this story. If you love a good book about what it’s like going through a war, I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pulling together was another great book written by Lois Wickstrom. The Grandmother made a poncho with 3 head holes and her grand daughter thought she made a mistake. Later in the story 3 friends pull together and share it. I think this would be a great book to teach young ones about sharing. I also think it would be great in teaching them how they can come together and use them with each other. It was definitely easy to read.

Little Red, The Detective was a nice story twist of The Little Red Riding Hood. I read this one to my daughter also. I didn’t think she would be interested in it, but surprising enough she was. The details in the story was good. I love how the pictures went along with the story on each page. My daughter likes looking at pictures to guess words that she doesn’t know. I recommend this book for children around 6-8 years old.

If you are wanting to teach your children to use their imagination, I think this would be a great book to read to them.

I chose to read this book because we think my daughter has a higher functioning Autism and can’t get her tested for it for another year. I love how the story tells about the daily struggles Emerson goes through being a teenager who has non verbal Autism. I felt like the book was relatable because I have a friend who’s son is non verbal with Autism. If you don’t know much about Autism, I feel like this book can teach you a lot about it. The details was great. I have no complaints at all who this story was written. I think it was written beautifully!

The world building and characters was well thought out. If you are easily triggered by talks of mental health problems & manipulation, then I would avoid reading this book. It was a good book other then that.
