* A Junior Library Guild Selection

어린이 그림책의 Classic이 된 Lauren Child의 "I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato"에 등장했던 찰리와 로라 남매가 다시 주인공으로 등장해서 왜 학교에 가야 하는지를 재미있게 보여줍니다.
첫 등교일이 가까와 오자, 로라는 근심 걱정이 높아만 갑니다. 학교를 가기 싫어하는 로라는 온갖 핑계를 다 생각해 냅니다. 키도 작고, 집에서 중요한 일들도 해야하기 때문에 시간도 없고...
착한 오빠 찰리가 로라를 달래 줍니다. "학교에 가면 숫자도 배우고, 백까지 세는 법도 배울 수 있어" 하지만 로라의 반박도 만만치 않네요. "나는 쿠키를 열개 이상 먹어본 적이 없거든. 10까지만 셀 수 있어도 충분하거든." 찰리는 설득을 포기하지 않네요. "만일 코끼리 11마리가 과자를 달라고 하면, 어떻게 세어서 줄래?" 로라는 숫자 세는 법을 배워야 한다는 점을 수긍하지 않을 수 없었지요.
역시 착한 오빠 찰리가 로라를 설득합니다. "학교에 가면 문자도 배우고, 편지나 카드 쓰는 법도 배울 수 있어." 하지만 역시 만만찮은 로라의 반격 "전화하면 되는데 편지는 왜 써?" 그대로 물러설 오빠 찰리가 아니지요. "모든 사람이 전화를 갖고 있는 것은 아니거든. 가령 크리스마스 때 특별한 소원을 담아서 북극의 산타클로스에게 편지를 보내야 하는데 글을 못쓰면 보낼 수 없지" 로라는 깨닫지요. "그건 미처 생각 못했네."
이런 식으로 독서, 교복, 도시락, 새 친구, 가상의 친구 등에 관한 로라의 걱정과 찰리 설득이 계속 됩니다.
Lauren Child 특유의 기발한 상상력에 저절로 웃음이 나오는 재미있으면서도 설득력이 있는 책입니다.
튼튼한 하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
Lauren Child's inimitable brother-sister pair takes on another childhood bugaboo -- the first day of school -- with the help of Charlie's resourcefulness and Lola's imaginary friend. Lola is not so sure about school. After all, why would she need to count higher than ten when she never eats more than ten cookies at a time? And why write letters when you have a telephone? Once again, it's up to ever-patient big brother Charlie to persuade Lola that school is worthwhile -- and that her invisible friend, Soren Lorensen, will be welcome, too. Lauren Child's delightful sibling duo returns to tackle first-day-of-school jitters with their own special brand of energy and humor.
Publishers Weekly
Favorite characters help ease the transition back to school (or, for newcomers, through the classroom door). Siblings Lola and Charlie (first introduced in I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato) return in I Am Too Absolutely Small for School by Lauren Child. Charlie must convince Lola to give school a chance, though she is full of reasons why she doesn't need it: "I don't need to learn up to one hundred. I already know up to ten, and that is plenty." Per usual, Charlie works his big brother magic as Child's collages delight the eye.
Children's Literature
Charlie's little sister, Lola, has many reasons to stay home from school. She does not have time to go because she is "extremely busy doing important things at home." She can count to ten and that is enough. She prefers talking on the phone to writing. Lola sees no need to learn to read because all her books are in her head. Her older brother, Charlie, has a counterpoint for these and the other excuses Lola makes. How he finally convinces her to go to school is ingenious. Readers will discover that all the reasons he gives for attending school are convincing not only for his sister, but for everyone. It is a delight to read the exchanges between these siblings in this, their third book appearance. Child effectively uses collage to get the reader's attention. The illustrations are a combination of cut paper and photos. There is an intriguing note on the refrigerator, as well, that says, "there is pink milk in this fridge." Each turn of the page brings an interesting layout for both the text and illustrations, and there is just the right touch of humor. You will want to add this to your list of "beginning school" books.
School Library Journal
The endearing siblings who first appeared in I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato (Candlewick, 2000) return with equally satisfying results. This time, little sister Lola has decided that while her parents think she is "nearly almost big enough to go to school," she is "absolutely not BIG." Charlie, the narrator, puts forth numerous sound reasons for going to school that Lola counters with her own unique logic: "I say- `If you know how to write, you can send cards to people you like.' Lola says, `I like to talk on the telephone. It's more friendly and straightaway.'" Charlie eventually comes up with a reason Lola cannot refute-her invisible friend is starting school and will be lonely without her-and she embarks on her educational career. The children's relationship is refreshingly noncombative, with Charlie as the protective and affectionate big brother who is appreciative of, rather than annoyed by, his sister's quirkiness. Incorporating photos, fabric, and appealingly childlike cartoon renderings of the siblings, the mixed-media illustrations are a visual treat of color and texture. This is a winner either as a read-aloud or for independent perusal.
