The gift sets with “I Am Absolutely Too Small for School”, I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato (Charlie and Lola)
Lauren addresses issues such as fussiness during meals, school going anxiety and not wanting to sleep, faced by practically all the parents at least once in this gift set.
In , Charlie’s parent entrust him the task of feeding dinner to his fussy sister Lola. Lola has a long list of foods she won’t eat but some creative thinking from her older brother changes all that. This funny witty imaginative story in hip kid language, expressive illustrations, full of color and textures, compliment the text and really hold your youngster’s attention.
Lola feels she is “Absolutely Too Small for School”, while her parents and Charlie feel otherwise. Every time she tells Charlie, why she should not go to school and Charlie patiently convinces by giving her a series of imaginative and funny reasons why she should go to school. The lighthearted approach in this book results in an entertaining story around childhood fears about starting school.
Charlie in “I Am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed” faces a bigger challenge of putting Lola to bed. Lola is never sleepy and loves to stay up doing her coloring, scribbling, wriggling and most of all chattering. The banter between the siblings coupled with humorous and realistic text, expressive artwork of childlike drawing, different font colors and sizes is a feast for eyes. A wonderful bedtime story for kids to read again and again.
