Lola plants a flower garden with her parent's help, and watches it grow.

Lola reads story books to her new baby brother Leo, and even though Mommy and Daddy are busy, they still have time to read to Lola at bedtime.

More than anything Lola would like a cat, but first she must learn how to care for it.

Lola loves to hear Daddy read a new library book each night, an activity that spurs her imagination and results in inventive play the next day.

Now that Leo is growing up and doing some things by himself, it is time for him to go to the doctor for a checkup, where they check his height, weight, eyes, ears, and heart, and give him a shot to keep him healthy.

Lola learns all about bees when she visits her mother's friend, Zora, who is a beekeeper.

Leo wakes up in the morning and follows his usual routine of breakfast and getting dressed until he is ready for a new day.

Leo spends the day at the park with his mother and his friend Suki playing on the swings, building a sandcastle, splashing in water, and having a picnic.

Spunky Lola embarks on a new adventure--the first day of school! Lola and her family prepare for the first day of school the night before, then get up early, take pictures, and head to class. Lola puts her things in her cubby, chooses her activities, reads, plays, and has a snack. Before she knows it, it's time to sing the good-bye song and rush into Mommy's arms for a warm reunion. A comforting, cheerful read that demystifies the school day for preschoolers...

Leo has had a busy day, but now it is time for his bedtime routine, so he snuggles into his nest for a story and a good night's sleep.
