Lola Knows A Lot, written by Jenna McCarthy, reviewed by Terry Wahrman

Summary: Lola knows a lot and precedes to tell us all she knows in a cute and funny way. Her sister, Charlotte, tells her she is going to meet people at school who know more than she does. That worries Lola. Her mother tells her to make a list of all she knows to share with the people at school. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: A very upbeat and color filled world of Lola is what you will find. Lola knows what she likes and does not like, broccoli. She learns by imitating her sister, father or mother, which can be annoying. She tells it like it is whether good or bad. It is a lesson on being yourself and telling the truth though people might not agree with you. It could be used as a read aloud or read alone. The illustrations are big, bright, beautiful, and can be seen from a far.
