A classic Charlie and Lola picture book about starting school worries, from Children’s Laureate Lauren Child.
Charlie’s little sister Lola is nearly big enough to go to school. But Lola is not so sure…
Lola says, ""I am absolutely not BIG. I am still really quite small. I probably do not have time to go to school. I am too extremely busy doing important things at home.""
This classic first-day-at-school tale addresses children’s fears with warmth, humour, and a lot of fun.

nice convincing for having fun at school for school beginners
pretty funny
imaginative
It was so fun. My fav bit was the alligator
I didn't really like this book. I didn't like Soren Lorensen being invisible, it was scary.
I did like counting the biscuits in the book, and spotted my favourite one - custard cream.
It is a fiction book because it’s a story.
This book was ok, I liked when Lola said she eats 10 biscuits at a time! I would recommend this book but for my brother who is 4.5 years old..
I did not love the book because I love going to school but she was too nervous.
I really liked the way the words were written on each page. It kept it exciting. Lola was a bit nervous about starting school and kept making up silly excuses not to go but her brother Charlie helped her to calm down and see how much fun school could be. I am starting school soon so it was good to talk to my mummy all about the things in this story.
I think it is really good and funny.
I probably liked the lnvizable friend most.
I would definitely recommend this to someone else.
I liked the part when Lola said she can count to 10.
I thought this was kind of nice because she finally went to school and faced her fears.
I would recommend it to someone if it’s their first day of school. I give it a 4 because it isn’t the best but it is near the best.
I like reading it to someone. My favourite character is Soren Lorensen. I would recommmend it
I really like Lotta. I don't know why. I also like the book because I am also starting school like Lola and Lotta. I am excited about about starting school now, but I might get a bit nervous like Lola later. Sometimes you also get nervous.
My favourite person was lola, I didn't like the twirly writing
I love this book! I love it because when Lola goes to school, she gets a new friend and at home she has pink milk. I would definitely tell my friends to read this book!
It’s funny and interesting and extremely excited.
Yes.
I think Lola is quite funny. I like it because Lola is starting school like me.
I liked learning about school.
I liked it at the end when Lola pretended it was Soren
Loreson that was worried about school and not her.
I liked the bit when Lola puts on her alligator costume.
I love Charlie and Lola on TV, this was good to read with lots of counting.
