5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read with your child, August 9, 2006

This review is from: My Wobbly Tooth Must Not Ever Never Fall Out (Charlie and Lola) (Mass Market Paperback)

My 5 yr old daughter loves the show and these books are a nice compliment to the series. She has seen "My Wobbly Tooth" enough to read along with me and that adds to her enjoyment as she tries to imitate Charlie and Lola. All the books reflect the same quirkiness of the show with the unique illustrations and script. If your child loves the exploits of Charlie and his little sister Lola, this book would be a great addition to your reading corner. It's also wonderful if you have a child with a loose tooth, or is still waiting for that first wobbly tooth. Once Lola hears there's money involved in losing teeth she can't be rid of her wobbly tooth fast enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but not by Lauren Child, August 21, 2007

Charlie and Lola are fast becoming my son's and my favorite characters, but some of these books, Wobbly Tooth included, are not actually written by Lauren Child. The text is based on a script from the t.v. program, and it shows. The story is fun if you have seen the episode, but not a good read. If you want real Lauren Child books, buy Eat a Tomato or Princess and the Pea or her Herb books. That being said, this is honestly and completely a cute book for children who love Charlie and Lola.

This review is from: My Wobbly Tooth Must Not Ever Never Fall Out (Charlie and Lola) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book has been an enormous help to my 5 year old who has her first wobbly tooth, she was so worried about losing her tooth but this book has helped her see the process and that it can be quite fun. Lola makes everything fun and funny though.

In this book Lola has a wobbly tooth and doesn't want it to come out. That is until her friend Lotta, her brother Charlie and Charlie's friend Marv tell her what happens, and that the tooth fairy comes to visit - and that the tooth fairy brings money, and she can buy a giraffe for her farm.

It is not surprising to know that Lola wobbles the tooth after that until it comes out. However she loses the tooth and starts to cry wondering whether the tooth fairy will visit. Charlie has a brilliant idea and the day is saved.

Immensely appealing book for children and adults - great early reader material - there are cues in the book for readers to pick up the text with. The characters are immensely appealing to look at too - the artwork is brilliant - the collage effect is inspiring and there are great little touches - lots of little things to see on every page.

This is one of the best series of children's books around (in my opinion!) and you and your children will enjoy them - we certainly do.
