Lola Sleeps Over

In the latest Lola Reads book, Lola has a new adventure with her cousin Hani: her very first sleepover!

Lola has been to her cousin Hani's house many times, but she's never spent the night until now. The two girls play, build, dress up, and try new things together before settling in for the night. After French toast breakfast the next morning, Daddy picks Lola up. It was the best sleepover ever. Maybe next time, Hani can stay at Lola's house! A reassuring read for children preparing for their own sleepover adventures.
