Absolutely One Thing
Absolutely One Thing: Featuring Charlie and Lola | Lauren Child
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
Count on Absolutely One Thing for a singularly funny look at simple math as encountered by Charlie and Lola. Sometimes, as a treat, Mom takes Charlie and Lola to the store and says they may choose one thing. "One thing to share?" Lola asks. No, it’s one thing each, explains Charlie, or two actual things between two. Lola is nine minutes late getting ready, and on the way, there are ladybugs and birds to count and maybe a squillion leaves on a tree. At the store, Lola says she’ll choose three things, or possibly two. "How about no things?" asks Mom. With Lola hilariously bending everyday numbers to her will, the math goes down easy in this charming picture book loaded with visual appeal.

It's time for #bookednesday! We all love this math-y, cute book. (And all of the Charlie & Lola books!) But in this one my 6yo relates to Charlie and my 3yo relates to Lola, and we all liked counting along on their trip to the store. 🙂

The typography in these books is so fun too - but they don't make great bedtime reading, in my opinion, because the occasional twisty lines of text are so hard to read in dim light! #gettingold 😂

Lmstraubie I love the illustrations in the Charlie & Lola books. I love how Lauren Childs mixes photos with the drawings. (Cheater glasses help in dim light & no one can see you wearing them 😉) 8y
