5.0 out of 5 stars Loveable Lola, Embraceable Book, January 24, 2004

This review is from: Love, Lola (Paperback)

There are many things to love this book: one being it is a flap book that is very reasonably priced. My first grader LOVES books with any "extras" like flaps, pop ups, etc, and usually this means "there goes the price!" Not so on this sweetheart of a book.

Lola is an artistic little one who loves her family and loves giving them Valentine's surprises. In the end, she receives even more grandly than she gives!!!

It is a great book to use to talk about the power of giving without expectation to your children and I especially enjoyed the realism in the characters, especially the interplay between Gilbert and Lola.

The illustrations are priceless, too.

This one is definitely a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Lesson of Giving with Heartful Illustrations, January 25, 2004

This review is from: Love, Lola (Paperback)

My two young children love this simple and also message filled Flap Book: they always love books with special features like flaps or pop ups.

I appreciated it had flaps and was still quite inexpensive! (Hooray!)

Lola makes and gives Valentines straight from her heart to all her family members, even when they don't notice. What she will learn is that while she is giving, they are also giving to her!

What a wonderful surprise and lesson for children in giving for the joy of it and receiving from others also with love.
