Lola Loves Stories
Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 1 The lovable African-American preschooler fromLola at the Library(Charlesbridge, 2006) returns in this whimsical picture book. Lola and her daddy go to the library every Saturday to pick out books. The stories she reads with her family throughout the week lend inspiration to her playtime, stretching her imagination and physical limits. Lola becomes a fairy princess, a pilot flying to exotic places, a farmer, and even a wild and wicked monster. The simple and straightforward text is easy to read, and the bright acrylic illustrations are eye-catching close-ups of Lola absorbed in books and in play. This engaging depiction of a child's enthusiasm for being read to is an excellent choice for libraries.Sara Figueroa, Indian Valley Public Library, Telford, PACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
