This was a book chosen by my daughter from her school library. She thought it was Charlie and Lola as the illustrations are similar.
The book is suitable for reading to a child at KS1 or for a topic book about space/earth with children who have good reading skills.
The text is integrated in with the illustrations and isn't a straight forward left-to-right reading book. This in itself has advantages and disadvantages. My daughter seemed more engaged with the book because of ...more

This is my first Clarice Bean book, though I loved Childs' The Princess and the Pea. Judging from the reviews, this isn't the best Clarice Bean installment, but I still enjoyed it. It is a little quirky, a little silly, and also thoughtful and interesting and promoting a message that we can all do a little something to help preserve nature. I like that the message is very pro-active rather than some of the doom-and-gloom stories that basically say our world is falling apart but give kids no r...more

This book is written in such an unusual way. The text is written all over the page and is incorporated into the illustrations. I would use this book with students who have already mastered reading and understand the concepts of print. For these students, this book could be a good book when studying the craft of the author and the structure of the writing. It is also a good book to discuss environmental science and the importance of tress in this world. An overall exciting read, different from an...more
This book is about a girl who is learning about the planet earth. She is always late for work and her teacher is tired of it. One of the trees in the neighborhood is suppose to be getting cut down. Her brother wants to save the tree so he decides to stay in the tree. His family joined him but the sister ended up being late for school again. At least it was for good reason. This teaches children to go green and save the planet.
The pictures in this book are pretty cool. However, the story is rambling and difficult to read. The print is not all typed straight, which makes it a difficult read-aloud. It also has nothing to do with what the title would suggest. It is really an environmental type of book, although it offered little actual information on the environment. Seemed like a child's rambling, but not in a clever way.
I love Lauren Child! And this book is super cute... though I'm not sure how the title tied into the story! Haha - it's a book about saving the planet and doing things that are eco-friendly. So the title and cover through me off. I thought she was going to be talking about outer space...more than just the first page.
Still, I loved it!

I did not like this book. I thought it was hard to follow. The words went in all directions on the page, which would be difficult for beginner readers. The theme of the book did not flow consistently.
I bought this for Mia expecting a chapter book, but it should be easy enough for her to read on her own (except for　made-up words like "gynormous").
These books are really cute and true-to-life! Lola is a character that is sometimes very realistic, and is quite like young girls! A lovely little story.
Fun design and format, good illustrations. Has a message about taking good care of the world.
From the creator of "Charlie and Lola" - it was just OK
I learned about !!!!!!!
What I think is so cool about Lauren Child's books is the way that she formats the words on a page, what is usually so simple and straightforward becomes a swirl or loop-d-loop twirling across the page. And I simply love Clarice's observations on life in general, the things she says and the things that she chooses not to say. This book made me smile.

not my favorite by Lauren Child. My little one recognized the illustration style right away and wanted to know where Lola was!
This was a book that seemed geared towards an older Lauren Child fan. My little one is only 3 so some of this was just too big for her right now. I did not take that into my star rating as that is my own personal thing - not an issue with the book.
