"I fell in love with Crosby, Stills, and Nash's song 'Southern Cross' when I was fifteen. By the time I got to college, 'I'm going to sail around the world someday' was sort of my pickup line." Continue »

I Am Too Absolutely Small for School

by Lauren Child

I Am Too Absolutely Small for School Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lola is not so sure about school. After all, why would she need to count higher than ten when she never eats more than ten cookies at a time? And why write letters when you have a telephone? Once again, it's up to ever-patient big brother Charlie to persuade Lola that school is worthwhile — and that her invisible friend, Soren Lorensen, will be welcome, too. Lauren Child's delightful sibling duo returns to tackle first-day-of-school jitters with their own special brand of energy and humor.

Review:

"Each turn of the page brings an interesting layout for both the text and illustrations, and there is just the right touch of humor. You will want to add this to your list of 'beginning school' books." Children's Literature

Review:

"Incorporating photos, fabric, and appealingly childlike cartoon renderings of the siblings, the mixed-media illustrations are a visual treat of color and texture. This is a winner either as a read-aloud or for independent perusal." School Library Journal

Synopsis:

Charlie and Lola now star in these paperback editions of their award-winning books, each filled with their own special brand of energy and humor. Full color.

Synopsis:

The children's relationship is refreshingly noncombative, with Charlie as the protective and affectionate older brother who is appreciative of, rather than annoyed by, his sister's quirkiness. - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (starred review)
