Absolutely One Thing: Featuring Charlie and Lola

40 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-8728-1 $17.99
(4) K-3 After their mother tells them they can choose "one thing each" at the store, winningly ditzy younger sister Lola gabbles with patient-as-can-be older brother Charlie on the subject of counting ("How many shoes would fifty or twenty-seventeen ladybugs need, Charlie?"). The story line treads water, but fans of Charlie and Lola books, with their exuberant graphics and typefaces, probably won't notice.
