Unwrapping Some Exquisite Illustrations for You to Enjoy

The Book

This is such a sweet board book with adorable characters and a very important message.  Lola and her daddy go to the library together each Saturday where she gets to chose excellent books for the upcoming week. She also gets to spend quality daughter/daddy time with him. 

Each night her daddy reads her one of her books and the next day Lola's imagination kicks into gear and she acts out the previous night's story.  She dresses up and pretends to be a:  fairy princess, pilot, tiger and builder, just to name a few.  The last book is about a monster and the author unveils a pop-up character of Max from "Where the Wild Things Are" and the last line is: "What will Lola be on Friday?"  Can you guess? 

The acrylic illustrations are beautifully portrayed.  I love the fact that visiting a library is a wonderful experience along with the fact that it's her daddy that takes her and reads to her each night.  That is very heartwarming as the books enrich their relationship and bind them together more solidly.  The book is the second in the series "Lola Reads".  I highly recommend it.

About the Illustrator

Rosalind Beardshaw loved drawing from early childhood and from a young age decided she wanted to become an illustrator. She studied at Manchester Polytechnic where she earned a degree in illustration. Since graduating in 1992, she has illustrated many children's books, including two of her own stories; Grandma's Beach and Grandpa's Surprise (Bloomsbury) inspired by long summer holidays spent with her playful grandparents. Animals have also played a large part in her work. Her lurcher, Basil is proving to be a constant source of inspiration for new characters!  In her spare time, Rosalind works as a volunteer with adults who have learning disabilities also.
