Under the Bandage is another unique children story from Lois. The story is told in a rhythmic rhyming way that makes the kids want to join in. Not only is there is the main story, but Lois also includes smaller pictures and information facts pertaining to a certain portion of the story.
Follow along as what started out as a scrape turns into a war. A troop of soldiers ready to defend and repair and stop those that are attacking.
What better and fun way to teach little minds and explain what is going on so they are not so worried about scrapes and injuries. But this is what Lois does, she takes a topic and makes it into a bright, colourful and fun learning experience without them even knowing because to them it is just a story.
I would recommend this book for any 5–8-year-olds. Have fun reading.

If you read any of my reviews, you know I’m a huge fan of Lois Wickstrom! Of all the books I’ve read by her, this one is, hands down, my ABSOLUTE favorite….so far!! She writes so well that this one might be demoted at some point but it will take a lot.

This story features a young boy who loves toy soldiers. One day he has a boo-boo on his knee and his mom puts a bandage on it. The story talks about how the toy soldiers and engineers are working to put his skin back together.

I absolutely love the analogies used and I wish I would have had this book back in my nursing days. I would have read this to every one of the kiddos I took care of! The author goes a little further in depth in this story by telling about some of the bacteria that invade the body. There are some larger words here but it’s great learning for kids and adults alike! She also stresses the necessity of handwashing!

I love that this book releases today in the midst of National Nurses Week too!

“Under the Bandage” by Lois Wickstrom is a fascinating and informative story that will help children understand the process of wound healing. The story is told from the perspective of a young boy who has skinned his knee and is forced to wear a bandage by his mother.

The use of personification, such as comparing the bacteria to enemies and the construction crew to workers, helps to make the concept more accessible and memorable for young readers. The illustrations accompanying the story are also helpful in visualizing the different stages of wound healing.

This book is an excellent resource for children who have experienced wounds or injuries, as it helps to demystify the healing process and reassure them that it’s a normal part of getting better. The story also encourages children to ask questions and seek information about their own bodies, which is an important aspect of healthy development.

This is the story of how our bodies heal after getting hurt. I absolutely love how Wickstrom is able to take something so scientific and break it down so that not only is it understandable for kiddos but its also fun and entertaining. Our main character has skinned his knee after a fall and his mother puts a bandage on it and tells him not to peek because his body needs to be able to heal. Throughout the story, we learn exactly what our body is doing, phase by phase, as it heals. Wickstrom also includes some sidenotes with interesting little tidbits that are good for more advanced readers. As usual, the illustrations are fantastic and follow along perfectly with the story. This is such a great book to add to your Lois Wickstrom collection.

This story rocks. It makes learning about healing wounds so much fun. The descriptions are really adaptable to a child’s level. The illustrations are so colorful and fun. The information on the healing process is bite-sized. Being an adult, I enjoyed reading this story. This would be a cool book to have in doctor’s offices to help kiddos. It’s a definite in family libraries. You must check this one out.

What’s happening under the bandage?
Mom makes him wear a bandage when he skins his knee. She says “no peeking.” What’s going on under there? It’s a war. His soldiers against the bad bacteria. After the bad bacteria are dead, it’s time to rebuild. Now, the construction crews come in.
It takes lots of work to grow new skin.
