Publisher Description
Lola Dutch loves her friends SO much! This a larger-than-life character created by Sarah Jane and Kenneth Wright is perfect for fans of Olivia and Fancy Nancy.
When Lola Dutch's friends are having a bad day, she knows just what to do to make each of them feel better:
She sews cozy pajamas for Gator,
constructs the perfect reading nook for Crane,
and takes Pig to the park!
Lola loves showing her friends how much she loves them! But there's one special friend she's forgotten--Bear! Can Lola decide on the perfect way to express how much he means to her?
The curious and inspired Lola Dutch knows that when it comes to showing friendship and appreciation, there's no such thing as too much. And maybe because of that, the thing Lola's friends love the most is . . . LOLA DUTCH!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lola Dutch's friends Gator, Crane, and Pig are all having a grouchy day, and eternally cheerful Lola (who "loves her friends SO MUCH") is determined to make them happy. Lola sews a cozy outfit for "cranky and cold" Gator, creates a bathtub book nook for Crane (who cannot "find her favorite book"), and takes Pig (who feels "left out") on an outing that ends in rain and, more happily, splashy puddles. She returns home, works to offer Bear "the perfect gift," and receives a special surprise from her friends in return. Inspired by Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages, married cocreators Kenneth and Sarah Jane Wright craft a warm story that centers on making others feel loved. Lola's yen for friend pleasing and refrain of "I love you so much" grows saccharine, but Sarah Jane Wright's energetic pencil, gouache, and watercolor illustrations conjure a confection that's airy, light, and sweet. Heavy on the message, but uplifting nonetheless. Ages 3 6.
