The Taming of Lola: A Shrew Story

32 pp. | Abrams | March, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-4066-6 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jerry Smath. Grandma Lola, a shrew, recounts a childhood story of when cousin Lester came to visit--and when Lola's terrible temper met her match. Lola and Lester duel it out in the tantrum department, which leaves them hungry and exhausted; their incessant sparring may wear out readers, too. Watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations effectively reflect the volume of the cousins' verbal brawls.
Reviewer: Sophie Williamson
