I Am Too Absolutely Small For School

Book Synopsis

Charlie’s little sister Lola is nearly big enough to go to school. But Lola is not so sure…

Lola says, “I am absolutely not BIG. I am still really quite small. I probably do not have time to go to school. I am too extremely busy doing important things at home.”

This classic first-day-at-school tale addresses children’s fears with warmth, humour, and a lot of fun.

Our Review Panel says...

Lola thinks that she is too small for school. Besides, she already knows her numbers to ten – which is all she needs – and she doesn’t need to learn to read words because she has plenty of books in her head. With a little help from big brother Charlie and invisible friend Soren Lorensen, Lola finds that her first day is not quite as scary as she had imagined.
