Tola may be small, but she’s very determined.

Three delightful stories about Too Small Tola, a young girl who, though small, is very determined. Tola lives in a flat in Lagos with her sister, Moji, who is very clever; her brother, Dapo, who is very fast; and Grandmummy, who is very bossy. Tola proves to be stronger than she seems when she goes to market with Grandmummy and manages to carry home a basket full of yams and vegetables, chilli peppers and fish. When the taps in the flat don’t work, it’s Tola who brings water from the well, and it’s Tola who saves the day when Mr Abdul, the tailor, needs his goods to be delivered quickly. Too Small Tola is a wonderful new character in the world of children’s books by multi-award-winning children’s writer and storyteller Atinuke.

I gave it two stars because it is very boring and nothing happens in it. I would definitely not recommend this book to anyone else.

This was a great book because Tola showed that she was small but strong. Tola was determined to make people proud of her and that is what she did.

Tola lives with her family , her brother Dapo ,her sister Moji and her Grandmummy in Lagos the country of Nigeria. I like it when Tola is strong like Grandmummy but she is too small.

It was exciting to see what challenges Tola and her brother had to go through to get the Easter Feast.

This book is about a girl called Tola. Many people call her small but what people commonly mistake is that what is on the outside is not always on the inside.
