Our review
Every Tuesday Lola and her mother pack books, walk to the library, return titles, sing at storytime, choose more, and end with a treat and a shared bedtime read. The predictable sequence shows library use as a family practice rather than a one-time event.
Use it before a first visit and let the child locate each step afterward. The story is a routine with little conflict. We Are in a Book! plays directly with the reader and the limits of pages; Lola offers the calmer, practical account of finding, borrowing, and sharing books through a library.
Before you buy it
The gentle routine has almost no narrative tension and does not address libraries whose programs or borrowing rules differ.
