Although Lola agrees with her brother that it would be useful to learn how to write, read and count, she can’t go to school because her invisible friend’s too nervous to go. This title in the ‘Charlie and Lola’ series deals sympathetically with children’s fears surrounding the first day at school.
Review
Child gives a simple story about starting school extra layers of complexity and humour.
(Books for Keeps )
Child is the Tracey Emin of illustration for young children: provocative, fearless, funny, but full of spirit and warmth.
