"Bright and cheerful Lolo is the star of the show in this new chapter-book series from South Africa. ...] Young readers will find much to enjoy in this tale of a winning little girl and her family--hooray indeed "- Kirkus Reviews "With a simply written, graceful text and gray-scale pictures on nearly every page, these appealing stories are just right for children moving from beginning readers to chapter books." - Booklist "Daly's lessons are relatable and resonant, sowing seeds of compassion and connection between the reader and Lolo. ...] The expressive black-and-white digital illustrations, which resemble classic line art la Amelia Bedelia, lovingly depict Lolo and her community. An endearing protagonist and clear thematic messages make this first in a series a winsome pick for early readers." - Publishers Weekly "The outstanding feature of this series of books is that very few books for children of this age (say 5 to 8 years) combine a highly readable tone and a feisty young character of colour." - International Board on Books for Young People, UK "Sparkly stories all, with lots of gentle humour that will win Lolo lots of friends among young readers who are sure to enjoy making the acquaintance of this enormously engaging girl."- Red Reading Hub "Lolo is a fun-loving, likeable character, whose experiences and dilemmas are typical of children her age. She considers the impact her actions have on others, making this a great book to promote discussion about emotions, empathy, kindness and friendship. Ideal for newly independent readers to increase their confidence, each page is illustrated with characterful black-and-white illustrations that bring the stories to life." - Book Trust (UK)
