A Good Concept

3 stars

I like the idea of a child who, though their parents won't let them have a dog, is able to be a bit resilient about not getting the kind of pet they wanted but is able to still get a pet. In this case, Lola wants a dog but ends up with a rabbit. Though she knows it's a rabbit, she does imaginatively console herself by saying that it is a 'kind' of dog. She's not really upset about it, and she does like the rabbit; this makes sense because she's effectively been describing a rabbit throughout the whole book despite "wanting a dog."

It's a bit silly, but it's still sweet in its own way.
