Description

In the hilarious first story from the A Little Bit Lola series, Lola has a BIG plan to get rich quick – and to buy the most beautiful pair of roller skates she’s ever seen!

Everyone in Lola’s family has wheels except Lola. So, when she spots the perfect pair of roller skates, she has to have them! There’s just one problem: Lola doesn’t have any money. But the tooth fairy does …

Can Lola figure out how to shrink down to the size of a fairy so she can be rich too?

This laugh-out-loud early-reader series is perfect for fans of Princess in Black and Dory Fantasmagory! With decodable text, accessible design, and gorgeous full-colour art on every page, A Little Bit Lola is fun for the whole family and sure to spark a love of reading.

Youngest sibling Lola inspires and delights with her limitless imagination, inventive problem-solving, and determination to prove she’s NOT as little as she looks. No matter the obstacle, Lola always finds a way to be whatever she dreams and to be herself.

PERFECT FOR:
  • Kids aged 4 to 8, especially kids who love pink, sparkles, stomping in mud and dreaming BIG
  • Parents, grandparents, and carers looking for a funny, engaging series for emerging or newly independent readers
  • Teachers and librarians wanting decodable texts with entertaining storylines
  • Fans of Billie B Brown, Ella Diaries, Juliet the Vet and Willa and Woof
MORE LOLA! The fun continues in these A Little Bit Lola stories:

About the Author

Kiah Thomas started telling stories when she was a kid, reimagining the endings in books she read. She rediscovered her love of kids’ books when she had children of her own, and started writing beginnings as well as endings. Kiah grew up on the south coast of New South Wales and now lives in Melbourne with her husband, three children and at least nine soft-toy penguins. She is the author of the internationally published middle-grade series The Callers, and dreams of one day having more books than penguins.

Bec Kitson is an illustrator based in Northern Victoria. She loves making art that delights all ages, which she shares online under @scribblegum_illustration. Bec cares deeply about celebrating, inspiring and empowering young people through her art and stories. Bec shares a home with her partner, two daughters, a chaotic but beloved garden, and a local family of magpies.
