Lola Loves Animals by Imapla - No

Lola Loves Animals
by Imapla
PICTURE BOOK Penguin Random House. 2022. $19. 9781662650512 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - NOT RECOMMENDED 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW  

Lola goes to the zoo with her mother. She sees many animals, gorillas, fish, giraffes, deer and elephants. Her mother buys Lola a toy duck that she takes home. When it is bedtime, Lola takes the toy duck to bed with her and an adventure in her dreams begins.

The illustrations in Lola Loves Animals are very colorful and basic, with stick figures and simple animal depictions. The story is easy to follow in the beginning, but as Lola goes to sleep and you go through the red door to her dreams/adventure, it is difficult to understand what is being portrayed. The animals look stressed and upset. Lola Loves Animals is abstract and a bit difficult to understand. The main characters are white.
