Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lois Wickstrom lives in a world where imaginary playmates are real. She doesn’t remember being born, so she finds unbirthdays are more exciting than the official once-a-year date on the calendar. She’s taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales.

She writes by herself. She writes with co-authors. She asks illustrators what they would like to draw. If she ever writes her autobiography, the title will be My Life as a Group Project.

Her mother used to get angry with her for daydreaming. Her little sister picked on her. So she lived in books and wrote her own stories in which the bad-guys made sense, and the good-guys had a chance. As she has grown older, her imagination has grown weirder. Even she doesn’t know what she will write next.

Colourful illustrations

Reviewed in Australia on 3 July 2022

3.5 stars

Colourful illustrations with a story that is more a teaching of experiments and about friendships. I am unsure of the way this author writes. It felt like it quickly jumped from one experiment to another without any real lead in to each one or an explanation as to why things worked the way they did. The story is set for elementary age readers 4 - 7 who I am sure will love to try the things the characters do in the book and not worry about any lead ins.

Children's story.

Mermaid and the Rainbow: Mermaid Science by Lois Wickstrom is an interesting, education, bright, and entertaining children’s story that teaches and inspires children to learn about science. We follow the cute characters on a bit of a science adventure, where the reader is shown science experiments and how to perform them…. So these are things that are easy to do and recreate at home. The characters are cute and quirky, and along with the colourful illustrations, they make the story come to life. The use of fantasy teamed with science, engages both imagination and learning. I think the story is a clever way to teach children about science and make it fun at the same time.
Happy reading!

Imaginative and fun!

Reviewed in Canada on 18 March 2022

I absolutely LOVED this book, especially because it incorporated science throughout. It took me about 30 minutes to read this to my niece as we had to stop and try out all of the experiments that were presented throughout. It is a great example that anyone can do anything they put their mind to by breaking down some of the stereotypes surrounding "who can do science?" Again, a truly imaginative and wonderful story. Highly recommend!

Wonderful characters

Reviewed in Canada on 19 March 2022

Not only did I find this book entertaining but it teaches children about science in a fun and interesting way. With fun and colourful characters, the book illustrates a simple science trick that the kids can try at home. A great way to introduce young children to enjoy science. An easy to read book that will keep children captivated.

Fun book!

I have a twenty-month-old daughter and a 7 year-old niece and they both loved this book. The vivid and bright pictures attracted my daughter and she loved going through them. My niece is “going to be a scientist” when she grows up and of course she loved the content. Plus, she loves anything to do with mermaids, so that was a bonus! This book is so cute. Trezzie is a mermaid who wants to show her friends, Maya and Fig, how to make rainbows and do an experiment with paper, a glass, and the lake water. Beware, the children you read this with will want to do these things when they are done reading! I recommend this book if you have small children as it is fun to look at and will keep their attention.

A cute story!

Reviewed in the United States on 19 March 2022

This was a cute read! I think children would really like it and it opens up a way to experiment with some, easy science projects. My only complaint is the character names. I was very confused because there was no explanation on which character was who. So that threw me off just a little bit. My daughter loved the bright pages, but she's 18 months so she didn't really understand or care for the story much, which is normal for her age! I can't wait to read this to her when she gets a little older and hopefully do some water experiments with her as well!

Engaging and fun!

This book definitely did its homework in getting kids attention. I brought it out for my 7 year old daughter to read for our bedtime story, and she fell in love as soon as she saw mermaids and learned it had experiments that she herself could try. This story was cute, fun, and educational. The Illustrations were bright and beautiful and the story itself easily kept both my 3 year old and 7 year old engaged. This author and this book left an impression because as soon as we finished she wanted to go on Amazon to order more books from her!
