When it comes, she and Charlie and friends Marv, Lotta, and Sizzles have a picture-perfect day, which only intensifies Lola's disappointment when the snow disappears. When she wishes she had snow all the time, big brother Charlie once again shows his wisdom and patience by helping her see, with impeccable kid logic and an easily understood object lesson, why that might not be such a good thing. Ever managing to temper Lola's enthusiasms without squashing her spirit, Charlie remains a great kid and an exemplary elder brother. The collage illustrations, taken from the animated cartoon version of this story, are up to Child's consistently high wit, warmth, and quality, with her characteristic visual and thematic flights into perspective-shifting fantasy. Snow might be Lola's favorite and her best, but Charlie is undeniably her unsung hero. Copyright © 2006 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois
