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.
