review 1: This book is about a little African American girl named Lola who has grown up her whole life being an only child. She discovers she will soon be a big sister to a baby brother. The book is all about Lola always finding the perfect book for hew newborm baby brother. If he is crying she reads him stories to cheer him up. She reads her favorite book to him while he being feed to make him feel calm. When he is getting his diaper changed she reads the best potty book. When he cries in the bathtub she reads him the best duck story. She reads him books to go to sleep and books to calm him down. At the end of the day Lola’s favorite story is the one of her own life and being a big sister. This is a good book for children who are expecting a new sibling in their lives. It helps t... morehem to understand what will change and how they can help. It makes it so that children want to be a part of their new sibling’s life. I know when I was a kid and my baby brother showed up I was not a happy camper. This book is easy to read and has beautiful illustrations. The illustrations are enough for children to understand; for children who cannot read. It has a good lesson within and develops into a cute story that all children will love.
review 2: Wow! I’m surprised that this book doesn’t show as having higher ratings. Right now the average is 3.64 stars. I loved it.This is the perfect book for families with a child and expecting another child or where there is a younger/baby sibling in the family.I have really liked at least two other Lola books but this one might be my favorite so far. Lola has a loving mother and father and she gets a bedtime story every night. Starting with Lola’s mommy’s pregnancy, Lola starts planning for and giving books to the new baby. When Lola’s brother Leo is born she reads to him and tries to help in other ways. The whole family is busy with Leo but not too busy for Lola’s bedtime story. This is a sweet story about family love. I like that both parents are involved in both children’s care. I love how Lola picks out books to fit the occasion, trying to help Leo feel better when he cries.I love the illustrations. I was thrilled to see a picture of Leo nursing. “It turns out he is just hungry. Lola holds her best bear story while Mommy feeds him. She and Mommy read it together.” It is obvious that Lola is still a very young child. As Leo gets his diaper changed, Lola is sitting on a potty chair, and reading “him her best potty book.” It’s so cute. Family love. Book and reading love. Wonderful!Highly recommended for 2 to 6 year olds who are older siblings, and some older children too. This is designed as a read aloud book but will also be enjoyed by young independent readers.Now, the only negative, as I see it, is that it’s ALL positive. Lola seems to feel absolutely no jealousy and doesn’t seem to have any ambivalent feelings about her new baby brother and her new place in the family. But I guess not every single book with this theme has to address these aspects. There are plenty of books about new babies in the family. I would suggest this be paired with a book that shows the child/children having a wider range of feelings. Kids read this book and no other might think any negative feelings they have are aberrant. With that caveat, this is now on my list of books to give as gifts to children about to be big sisters/big brothers.4 ½ stars less
