K-Gr 1—Lola and Lotta are best best friends—until Evie moves to town. Lola feels left out as she watches her friend playing and spending lots of time with the new girl. Not to worry, though. By the end of this saccharine tale, Lola and Lotta are reunited with a little help from Charlie. No real lesson about friendship is clearly defined. This "based upon" book does not maintain the witty charm of Child's original creations. While it may draw fans of the TV series, it remains an additional purchase for most libraries.—Jasmine L. Precopio, Fox Chapel Area School District, Pittsburgh, PA
Lola is worried when Lotta is charged with looking after new classmate Evie. Maybe swapping lunches and watching tadpoles won't be their exclusive "best, best friend" rituals anymore. With Charlie's help, Lola finds a unique way to remind Lotta of their special friendship. Young readers will relate to Lola's best friend worries. Child's wacky mixed-media art is up to its usual standard.
