My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s Caspian’s “unbirthday” and today his grandfather has gifted him with a pencil. At first he’s confused and then he sees the paper. The pencil writes the word “apple” on the paper. He takes it to the breakfast table where grandfather says he’s going to have a star quality day. Caspian is on his way to school when he sees a walker out of place. He returns it to the rightful owner and is given something in exchange for his kind act. This goes on for awhile with various people until Caspian finally learns the meaning behind the star.

The illustrations are so bright and vibrant!!! I love that about a great children’s book. The story is very well done as well and brings up several talking points after the book has finished. I have enjoyed this book series so far!

The Know-It-All Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand)The Know-It-All Pencil by Lois Wickstrom

A very cute book for children, the story revolves around an unusual gift a boy called Caspian receives for his birthday from his grand father. The gift is a pencil which writes by itself. But does the pencil just write or is there some reason behind what the pencil is writing? Initially it writes one word, then when Caspian gets what it is asking for , it connects the thing to a person, and that person might be in need of help ! A very cute story about being kind and helpful to others written in a very unique way. I absolutely loved this book

The-Know-It-All-Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom – Review By Janel Bernotas

This is such a great children’s book! Every year on his “Unbirthday”, Caspian receives a gift from his grandfather. This time it was a magic pencil that wrote words on the notepad by itself. The words confused Caspian until he realized they were things that other people around him needed or needed his help with. A wonderful story about helping others in need with a little bit of science information thrown in too! The-Know-It-All-Pencil is beautifully illustrated. The artwork is vivid, and descriptive of what is happening in the story. All in all, this is a good book for children to read, and I would love to read more of this series. I absolutely recommend this book to other parents to both read for themselves and read with their children!

The author Lois Wickstrom did a fantastic job on this book! My 8 year old and I read this together and not only did he love the story but the illustrations as well. Caspian receives a pencil and a pad of paper from his grandfather for his “unbirthday”. It’s not just any pencil though, it’s a Know-It-All pencil. A magical pencil that Leads straight to adventure. What adventures you may ask? I will not spoil it, you must read to find out and I promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s a great book to read and discuss with your kids. They will adore it.

This was such a cute story with lots of valuable lessons attached. Caspian was a great kid and he definitely gave some food for thought after he received the pencil for his birthday. The illustrations were beautiful and the story itself left quite the mark. You learned the importance of doing for others as well as just doing good things in general. My 7 year old enjoyed the story and she was able to pin point the lessons right away!

My kids loved this book! They asked me to read it to them multiple times. I loved the characters and how fun the story was. This book inspired lots of questions from my 4-year-old and 7-year-old. I really enjoyed that it was fun for them and for me. Big Bonus. Can’t wait to see what else this author has in store for us. I highly recommend it. I think your kids will love it.

Great story….My son & grandson loved it. My 10yr old was able to read back & forth with me and my grandson was captivated with the colorful and bright illustrations. Will be on the hunt for additional Lois Wickstrom children books!

Caspian received a special gift that contained a magic pencil and a notepad. As he holds the pencil, words magically appear on the pad. As he attempts to discover the meaning of the messages, he is led on an adventure though his town, showing how one particular item can set wheels in motion for an awesome journey

The-Know-It-All-Pencil is a cute, engaging, short story. Caspian’s unbirthday always starts with a unique gift from his grandpa. This year’s gift is a pencil that gives clues and a pad of paper to write them on. The adventure that Caspian goes on helps him meet many different people, teaches him about helping others, paying it forward, as well as interesting facts he didn’t know before.

This well written story is easy to follow and engaging. The art work is also beautifully done. I would recommend for kids around the ages of three to low elementary.

A quick and easy book for little ones. Caspian receives a special pencil and paper from his grandpa. These special items take Caspian on a special adventure. One word begins the fun and soon he is finding and trading items. The story is easy to follow and very descriptive. It is an interesting story that keeps the young readers entertained and eager to see what happens next with each new item that Caspian gets and when this adventure is over it brings readers back to a point where Caspian is ready for another adventure to begin.

This book is too cute. It is a great book perfect for little kids. The know-it-all pencil story and illustrations were beautifully done. We watch Caspian as he and the pencil go on a little adventure and learn a lesson or two. It is a perfect read for children and those who still love a good children’s book. I will be sharing it with my nieces and nephews.

It is the morning of Caspian’s UnBirthday and when he wakes up to a box tied in a ribbon from his Grandpa, he is excited, but when he opens it and all it contains are a yellow pencil and a green pad of paper he is confused, especially when it starts writing by itself!

What kind of an adventure can a Know-It-All Pencil bring? You can only find out by reading this charming book.

“The Know-It-All Pencil” is a story about a boy whose grandfather gives him a unique, magical gift. It is part of the Invisible Magic Wand series. I enjoyed this story. I read it without having read the other stories in the series and feel like I would have understood it more if I had read at least the first book in the series. I like the idea of a magic pencil. I was intrigued by the adventure Caspian experienced as a result of receiving the pencil. I recommend this book for children and anyone who enjoys a good children’s story.

This was a really cute and fun children’s book with beautiful, colourful illustrations. Caspian’s Grandpa gives him a know-it-all pencil for his unbirthday. As we navigate the story with Caspian we see him do things to help people all whilst trying to find out what adventure the know-it-all pencil wants him to go on. This is a fun book that will get children thinking about doing good deeds for others.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The-Know-It-All-Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand Series) by Lois Wickstrom is a fun children’s read about a magical pencil and the adventures it leads to.

The book begins on “Caspian’s UnBirthday,” not having read the other books in the series, I’m not quite sure what day he celebrates his “UnBirthday,” or even exactly what it is. To get the full story for yourself and the children I would suggest reading the whole series or at least the book detailing what an “UnBirthday” is.

That being said, this is a very cute, imaginative story. It also has very colorful and appealing illustrations that help the reader travel through Caspian’s adventure along with him. This book has magic, adventure, and even shows instances of kindness by helping others. I also liked that everyone and everything Caspian encountered no matter the age, skin color, gender, ability, or animal type was treated with the same degree of helpful kindness.

This short read was really enjoyable and I think it would inspire children to want to go on a similar scavenger style hunt themselves. I’m excited to share it with my grandchildren. It would be great for children 4 to 6.

Lois Wickstrom did an excellent job with this children’s book. The illustrations and graphics are what I believe would catch many children’s attention. They are aesthetically pleasing. There is depth in the cartoons. The Know It All Pencil is a sweet story about a boy named Caspian who receives a present on his “UnBirthday”. This writer viewed the pencil as silly, and thinks children would really enjoy how the pencil worked by itself. The story also comes together at the end and brings everything full circle.

This is fun children’s story that I think would really connect with children. I read this book with my four year old and she really seemed to enjoy it. I liked the fact that the story was also easy for me to enjoy and not a slog to try and read through like some children’s books can be.
If all the books in the series are like this I can see it being a huge hit with children. This is great book ro read with them.

This little book was so super cute! I love the illustrations. This story was cute for children as they realize that Caspian is on a little mystery driven by his know-it-all pencil! It is nice to see that his grandma gave him this pencil to begin with, and the story centers around his family and those closest to him. Very cute story!

What a grand story. Learning to spell and read is always fun. Caspian’s Grandfather knows just what he needs for his UnBirthday. A pencil and green pad is only the beginning of this adventure. This author has quite nicely introduced writing and reading. Adding a little math and science. While this story is short, it is a great opening for a child’s adventure. Can Caspian find the Star of this story? The illustration is well done and eye capturing. I recommend this story to all children, just starting to read.

I read this book with my 6-year-old daughter and we enjoyed this fun little book. We liked the way it ended as we had a great discussion about what else the pencil would write. I liked the openness of the ending as it did open the floor for us to talk. Would we want a know-it-all pencil? It might be fun to solve the puzzle of what it is trying to tell us one word at a time.

This story is a very cute kid’s story about a pencil that can write by itself. This pencil takes Caspian on an adventure by writing one-word clues.

This story is short, fun and easy to read. I would have read this to my preschool class and my own children when they were younger. Even the pictures are cute.

This kept their attention and had them guessing right along with Caspian, the main character. I will be finding the others in this series now.
