Lola plants a flower garden with her parents' help, and watches it grow.

Lola loves to hear Daddy read a new library book each night, an activity that spurs her imagination and results in inventive play the next day.

Presents a lift-the-flap picture book in which a little warthog sets out on an adventure in which he learns to count to ten.

Previously published: London : Scholastic Children's Books, 2008, under the title A new home for Little Fox. Little Fox and his father look at other woodland animals' homes, then make a new den for themselves.

"Lola is excited for her first-ever sleepover at her cousin Hani's house where together they play, learn, and try new things"--Provided by publisher.

"In this celebration of the joy of giving, one snowy Christmas Eve, a king buys some soft, red cloth to make the perfect Christmas gift for his daughter. Little does he know that the left-over cloth will be used to make presents for many more of the kingdom's inhabitants, right down to the last teeny bit of cloth which is made into a scarf just right for a mouse"-- Provided by publisher.

Fran's dog Fred wants her to play with him and does not understand why she is so busy working on something special--for him!

Poor Betty! She's always getting into messy muddles. She can't paint a rainbow or scatter dewdrops and her pirouettes are, well, pretty precarious. You see, with so many animals to rescue and friends to help, there's just no time for Betty to practice all the things a fairy should. But when it comes to the Fairy Ball, Betty's friends return her gifts of kindness and it becomes clear who is actually the fairiest fairy of them all.

Every Tuesday Lola and her mother visit their local library to return and check out books, attend story readings, and share a special treat.

More than anything Lola would like a cat, but first she must learn how to care for it.
