Lively, funny, irresistible, and mischievous, Lola will appeal to fans of Olivia and Peppa Pig.When an apple hits Lola the cat on the head and wakes her up, she knows it is going to be that kind of day. So when she sees something curious, she decides to follow it . . . right onto a school bus (fun!) and right into school. The kids have never seen a cat at school before, but this classroom is open to everyone and everything, and soon Lola is having the time of her life. This lively introduction to Little Lola the curious cat is a winning choice for back-to-school, as well as for sharing aloud all year long.The husband-and-wife team of Saab and Gothard introduce Lola, an irrepressible street cat who decides to have an adventure at school, donning pink eyeglasses, a cute outfit, and a backpack, and following schoolchildren onto the bus. The kids love Lola, and she thrives at school: “Lola practiced painting, playing, hiding, singing, swinging, and sharing.” Gothard’s watercolors have a retro, Richard Scarry simplicity and showcase Lola’s personality at every turn, whether she’s learning “subtracting” by eating goldfish crackers or showing off her many talents (including cheerleader and one-cat-band) during show-and-tell. An entertaining and promising debut for both Lola and her creators. Ages 4–8. Publishers Weekly, starred review
