I am too absolutely small for school (2003)

Lola is certain she is far too small for school, and her big brother Charlie has to talk her around, one funny objection at a time. Lauren Child's Charlie and Lola books have a dry wit that parents enjoy as much as children, and this one treats reluctance as something to reason with rather than a problem to fix. It works especially well for a younger sibling following an older one into school, and for a child who would rather argue than admit to feeling nervous.
