These are mostly numbers as fun—"Or a squillion?"—numbers to roll
around in your mouth, then chew and swallow to feed your
imagination.
—Kirkus Reviews
Child makes mathematical concepts fun in this book featuring two
counting siblings.
—Booklist
The line drawings and textured mixed-media illustrations are as
sunny and energetic as those in Child’s other books. The layout is
busy, with a dizzying variety of fonts. Plenty of math is squeezed
into the text, but the joy of numbers is conveyed much more
effectively than any specific calculation technique. A must-buy for
preschool and early elementary math collections, as well as for
Charlie and Lola fans.
—School Library Journal
Math is not a scary, abstracted monolith, it's folded into everyday
life in countless ways. Leave it to British author-illustrator
Lauren Child's (I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato) ever-charming
Charlie and his little sister Lola to make this point with
panache.
—Shelf Awareness for Readers
Charlie’s droll narration alternates between exasperation and
indulgence, and kids with younger siblings will find it
particularly entertaining. The animated text provides plenty of
opportunities to practice counting and calculating simple
operations, while corresponding numeric labels and number sentences
make explicit the tallying and calculations...Use this as a
springboard into a math lesson or simply share and enjoy with
Charlie and Lola fans.
