Lola at the Library (Lola Reads)

This book introduces children to the concept of going to the library in a time where that seems ancient. (We have a library inside the mall here in Washington. I find that really amazing.) Miss Lola our main character takes us on her journey and what she does at the library. She's a little bookworm and her Mommy reads to her at night. The words are easy to follow for little readers and the story is easy to follow. I enjoyed reading this with my little ones and it's definitely a favorite. They enjoyed it and smiled but I was not about to read it again. (Lol, every parents silent prayer. Read it once for the night and sneak out.) I recommend this book to parents of little ones wanting to encourage your children to read and just in general. It's a great children's story.

After the birth certificate and social security card, the next document of importance for me is a library card. Both my sons received theirs by the age of 2 and prayerfully, I will be able to get one for my granddaughter by the time she turns 2.My granddaughter and I enjoyed the book and lovely pictures. The story was not just about the library but more about parents spending quality time with their children and just how much that means to our children.

I originally bought a copy of this book 5 years ago when my son was born. He loved this book & now we have a daughter and she also loves it. We bought this copy to give to a friend as a birthday gift. Really like the premise of getting excited about books,reading and visiting the library. I also like that Lola looks like my daughter. There aren't a lot of books with minority main characters. Overall, this is an excellent book for young children and burgeoning readers like my son.

This is a sweet story. Well written, simple and warm. It gets kids excited to read and go to the library at a young age. This book also shows a beautiful closeness of the mother and her daughter while exploring life outside of home for the day.Both my young daughter & my son, ages 2 and 4 years old love it. It shows diverse groups of kids all throughout.I am very glad to own this book in our own family library.

The book is wonderfully engaging. The illustrations at all drawn in a way that you only ever see Lola's view of the world. I would highly recommend this book.

Such a cute book. It is amazing how books like this was so rare when I was growing up. Now that I am a grandma, I have such a selection of culturally-appreciative books to choose from for my grandbabies. Just love it and this one is well written and illustrated beautifully. I love the character Lola and her family. Will definitely add more of this series to my grandma collection.

This is an adorable book. My daughter loves having it read to her multiple times a day. We’ve had it for two months and it is constant rotation.

Such a sweet book! Love that it talks about reading, trips to the library and spending time with her mom. My daughter loves it and I love that she can she can open the book and see characters that look like her.

My 3yr old loves this book. It tells of Lola going to the library, returning books and her mother also borrowing books. My girl is a natural reader so she loves books and going to the library. She also likes that the little girl looks like her. It's wonderful for kids to illustrations that look like them also when they read. Great book !

We love this sweet little book about Lola and her mom going to the library.

My toddler just loves this book! It helped us establish a library visit ritual too! The text is good and the drawings are very cute!and the protagonist is an afro-american girl: Hooray for that!

Cute little book. Trying to foster a love for reading and also get her to show her there are books about little girls like her.

this book is so absolutely adoring! Mike 2.5-year-old loves to read it over and over again, and demand his own library card now !The story as well written, very realistic anti-illustrations are super cute !I can recommend this book Hailee to every child that has a loft for books and reading
