5 Stars!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved this book so much. Reading it made me smile and tug at my heartstrings hard. My nieces and I love the story all about Albert the Turkey. Coming into the Thanksgiving Holiday, Albert the Turkey is at a farm where a family comes to purchase their Thanksgiving Turkey. Albert tries so hard to be kind and flaunt his feathers that the family changes their mind. I love that the story you learn what the “pardon” means and what is behind it. As the family navigates a decision…Albert is hoping he can be safe.

This story is just wonderful, the illustrations and spot on and fantastic and the book can be for young and old alike. I always look forward to this author’s books…….just pure joy!!

Pardon Me, Please is another cute and colourfully illustrated children’s story by Lois Wickstrom. The worst time and place to be a turkey would have to be stuck on a turkey farm leading up to Thanksgiving. Well, that is exactly the predicament that Albert, the turkey, finds himself in. When a family arrives and starts sizing him up for their holiday meal, Albert is desperate to find a way to save himself from becoming their dinner. With time running out, things look quite grim. What will he do? Will he get his chance for freedom and escape the fate of so many other not-so-luck turkeys? This cute little story is well worth the read to find out.
Happy Reading…

Albert is a turkey on a turkey farm and it’s November. He’s becoming very concerned that all the people looking him over see him as food and not a pet. Albert would love to live a long healthy life making people happy but not on the dinner table! Then, Albert sees some hope. The President has just pardoned a turkey and wished him a long life. Maybe, just maybe, Albert can be pardoned too!!

This is a super cute book that is very timely! It discusses how turkeys are traditionally eaten at Thanksgiving, which gives the reader and opportunity to discuss with others or think for themselves about other options for a meal besides turkey. It also discusses voting, which also happens in November. The illustrations are very well done with lots of vivid colors. This is one of my all-time favorite children’s authors now that I’ve read several of her books. These are great to share with your kids/grandkids/daycare/preschool/etc and would make a great holiday gift!

What a cute story that kind of teaches about the turkey pardoning done by the White House. I found it to be entertaining and full of bright pictures that children may enjoy. The story may start conversations about Thanksgiving and why turkey is eaten. Another book to make learning fun by this author. She has fast become one of my favorites when I look for books for my grandchildren.

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 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.

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, four grandchildren and a dog.
