My infant daughter adores her Lola books. She smiles when she sees Lola playing, reading, and running. This one talks about how books can influence your interests and how books are a window to the world. Love the fun illustrative details like sparkly shoes & colorful library shelves.

A simple story about how reading can inspire play. Not much more to it than that.

This is another strong addition to the Lola series. It's a sturdy board book with attractive illustrations. The simple plot involves Lola reading a different library book with her dad each day, and engaging in pretend play related to the book the following day. I think it works really well for kids at the target age, but that it isn't a long-term hit. That is, kids who are too young or slightly too old would find it boring or not engaging - but it's a great fit for kids in the sweet spot where a quiet book like this works.

Cute story, sweet illustrations. Lola brings lots of books home from the library, and Daddy reads her a different story every night. The next day, the previous night's story inspires her play for the day. The story lists the days of the week, which is good for the intended audience, and shows how fun reading can be, how it fuels the imagination. At the end, Lola's Daddy reads her a story about monsters, with a visual nod to Where the Wild Things Are in the illustration, and the reader is invited to guess what Lola will pretend to be the next day, giving a bit of interactive fun to the story. The illustrations throughout are adorable, and add extra charm to the text. An engaging addition to the series.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from Anna McQuinn and Charlesbridge through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a fun book about all the possibilities that open when you read and use your imagination. I love that this was a dad reading to his child, quite often it is the mother depicted as the reader and I liked that Lola and her dad were creating these memories together.
