Literate and pre-literate audiences alike will laugh at this engaging pair's comical misadventures, and happily provide verbal commentary too. --- Kirkus Reviews

Young children will be thrilled to have a 'real' picturebook which they will be able to enjoy without having to have a grown-up read it to them. Laugh-out-loud funny misadventures and an easy tofollow story make this a winning book. --- Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Review

At first, when I looked at it [Lola & Fred], I thought, "how can I review this, there aren't any words!" but when I sat down to"read" this book... I found I could tell the story easily enough... it is a truly enjoyable tale for young children. --- Armchair Interviews
