Critic Reviews

"So right for children moving on to chapter books - the content, the length of each story and the pictures are just what's needed for children' making progress in decoding words and finding the story."

Dolphin Book blog

"A perfect chapter book set in South Africa, the stories are full of fun, kindness and friendship."

-- Jo Bowers, Associate Dean, Cardiff Metropolitan University

"With its combination of gentle humour and warm family relationships, and of course, Niki Daly's own black and white illustrations at every turn of the page, this one is a sheer delight."

Juno

"The outstanding feature of this series of books is that very few books for children of this age combine highly readable tone and a feisty young character of colour."

IBBY

"Ideal for newly independent readers to increase their confidence, each page is illustrated with characterful black-and-white illustrations that bring the stories to life."

Book Trust - Books We Love

"Lolo is thoughtful and caring and she is very good at considering the feelings of others. Each book would be a wonderful pick for a learning setting, encouraging conversations about emotions and friendships. Great reads."

Mama Filz

"Sparkly stories all, with lots of gentle humour that will win Lolo lots of friends among young readers who are sure to enjoy making the acquaintance of this enormously engaging girl."

Red Reading Hub

"Suitable for early readers moving onto chapter books...sweet, simple stories...Punctuated by beautiful black and white drawings by the author."

Children's Books Ireland

"All Lolo's experiences are based on familiar, everyday events with which young readers can empathise. The emphasis is on fun, family and a child's growing curiosity and independence. Every page is brought to life with delightful black and white drawings...Perfect for building reading confidence in youngsters who are ready to move from picture books to more substantial texts."
