The New York Times bestselling author/artist Lauren Child ives in London, England.
PreSchool-Grade 2—In this book, adapted from a script from the television show Charlie and Lola, the siblings prepare for the arrival of the school guinea pig, Bert. Despite the fact that Lola knows less about guinea pigs and their care then her friends do, she is picked to take the animal home. She has determined that Bert is a girl because of his long pretty hair. Everyone assures her that she is wrong, but Lola is proven correct when, after a brief disappearance, Bert reemerges with a brand-new family. Readers already familiar with these children will be pleased to reacquaint themselves with sensible, steady Charlie and the always-playful, always-curious Lola. The illustrations are based on the animation from the television program, and they maintain Child's fun and energetic use of collage. The art fills almost every space without ever seeming cluttered, either by words or images. A spread in which Lola looks for her friends among the high grass of "Peruuuuuu!" serves to impart information (some guinea pigs come from Peru) while illustrating her constant energy and precociousness. This is not a pet-care book, but readers will learn plenty about guinea pigs. This entry in what is now a very popular series will please its fans.—Kara Schaff Dean, Walpole Public Library, MA
