I thought the title of this was especially cute and clever...The Taming Of Lola, a shrew story. :) This is a book about a little shrew that is very badly behaved. She screams and tantrums when she doesn't get her way (anyone know a kid like that...I do know one a little like that!:)) Anyway, she soon meets her match when a cousin comes to visit. This is a great read aloud and full of details in the illustrations.
Good for early elementary kids, given the length of the text, this is a cute story about Lola, the tantrum-throwing, conniption-fitting shrew who meets her match in her equally-ill-behaved cousin Lester and realizes that bad behavior is just too exhausting.

Lola is a shrew. She is not a nice shrew. She has a tantrum whenever she doesn't get her way-- and usually her family bends over backwards to accommodate her. Until cousin Lester comes to stay. He's as bad as Lola-- may the worst shrew win! Ages 3-6.
What a funny book and so appropriate for my children, esp. my 4 year old-she and Lola are so much alike! I recommend this one to moms everywhere who have ever dealt with tantrums ;).
funny for one on one read to those who have little brothers or sister and it seems they always get ther own way.
Cute story about naughtiness and throwing temper tantrums to get your own way.
