Things are Shaking by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Last year, Caspian received a very unconventional gift on his un-birthday from his grandfather. It was an invisible magic wand. Today, Caspian decides he's going to use it during breakfast time to change the speed of what's happening in the world. Caspian's cousin Belinda becomes very upset and decides she must have an invisible magic wand from grandfather as well. As soon as grandfather hands her a wand, everything starts shaking and the trio is trying to figure out how to stop it using their wands.

This is a super cute book and I love the illustrations. They are very colorful and vibrant. Lois Wickstrom writes engaging stories that often times have a scientific lesson in them. I would recommend this book, as well as others by this author, to have in your personal/school/daycare library. These make great books for learning!

The Know-It-All Pencil (Invisible Magic Wand Series Book 5) by Lois Wickstrom

 

The Know-It-All Pencil by Lois Wickstrom
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 Mind-Reading Hat (Invisible Magic Wand Series Book 6) by Lois Wickstrom

 

The Mind-Reading Hat: Invisible Magic Wand Book Six by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The bonds between grandparents are super special and Caspian is no exception! It's his un-birthday and he gets not one, but two, special gifts!! The first is a hat that once belonged to his grandpa. The other is a very uniquely shaped stone. Caspian learns really quickly that when he's wearing the hat, he can hear the thoughts of others in their own voices! The rock gives him great ideas and helps him to solve problems.

What I wouldn't give for a hat like Caspian's! That would make life interesting for sure!

This is a super cute book and I wish I had a little one to read it with. This book would be enjoyable for those early readers. The illustrations are very bright and vibrant. The story is one that children would be able to easily enjoy.
