Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-01 00:00:00 Drahoslav Reznicek Lola is about to have her first ever school photo taken. Her Mum tells her that it is a very special photograph and that she has to stay tidy and clean. Her brother Charlie doubts if she will be able to do so but she replies, 'It'll be easy peasy lemon squeezy.' To prove her point Lola shows Charlie some holiday photographs where she is smiling and looking extremely clean and also saying 'Cheese!' However, once at school, in her nicest skirt, her best shoes and her favourite hairclips, with her friend Lotta she embarks on various activities that soon have her looking not so clean. They play around the puddles in the playground, mess about in the water tray and then at lunchtime she drinks her pink milk and spills it all over. After lunch they paint and before long Lola tells Lotta, 'My hands are a bit green and a bit red.' She washes her hands prior to the photo call but fails to wash the paint off her face. When it is their turn Charlie has to tell Lola, 'Stay still, stop wriggling.' She does and says, 'Cheese!' Viewing their photographs later Charlie says, 'Well at least you're smiling Lola,' to which Lola replies 'But I'm NOT clean and I'm NOT tidy, and I did try.' She is so disappointed because she did want her Mum to be pleased. Then she has an idea. She digs out some old photographs and, after lots of cutting, snipping and sticking, she comes up with a composite photograph that displays none of the dirt and untidiness that is there originally. At bedtime Lola goes into their bedroom with the special photograph and Charlie asks what their Mum thought of it. Lola says, 'Mum says I REALLY am a VERY good smiler.' Another jolly adventure with Charlie and Lola - Cheese!
