Lola Dutch by Kenneth Wright
3.0
My niece loves this book. Lola wears a pink tutu and has bright ideas = what's not to love. The art is bright and peppy and she is adored by her animal friends. I get why my niece loves this.
Lola is a creative girl and she likes to do things to the extreme. It's not enough to have one idea, you fix breakfast for the each person. It's not enough to get a few books, you check out 100s. There are no limits to her imagination and creativity. This is the good part of the story.
Bear is the center and tries to keep her grounded. I enjoy this story too, and my only thought is that, creativity is one thing, having no boundaries and limits is another. We are living on a planet with 7 billion people all using resources. Lola wasted a lot of food to make all the fancy. Being conscious of how much we use seems like a good thing to me. I know this story isn't about that and it's about fun and creativity. Anyway, It's a fun, bright happy book and there are many children who are going to love this book.
Last thing, why is one of her friends a gator? It's an interesting choice. Maybe the author wanted green.
