We Honestly Can Look After Your Dog, is an adorable book. Charlie, Lola, and there friends Marv and Lotta go to the park with Marv’s dog Sizzle. Lola and Lotta absolutely love Sizzle and promise to watch him while the boy’s play. Everything seems fine until the girls lose Sizzle in the park. My son loved this book, He thought it was funny that the girls couldn't tell the dogs apart. ( )

Older children go off and play football, leaving an innocent animal in the charge of a couple of precocious, prissy, barely sentient younger children. When the animal's lead breaks, disaster is foreshortened because the dog's legs are too small to carry it any distance into real danger, and then all is leavened by the appearance of a looky-likey dog from behind a tree. An argument for canine microchipping might have ensued had not someone able to read the addresses on the two dogs' collars arrived. ( )

Not the best Lola and Charlie book, but still a charmer.  The plot hinges on manufactured (unlikely) drama, but ok. ( )

Lola and Lotta look after a dog and lose it! Which dog is the right one? ( )
