Summary of La La Rose Summary of La La Rose Reviews for La La Rose An Excerpt from La La Rose

La La Rose is a pink rabbit.  She and her little girl, Clementine, are absolutely inseparable.  Until, one day in Luxembourg Gardens, the unthinkable happens: La La Rose gets left behind.  Boys toss her in the trashcan, a jogger runs with her, a dog drags her from the fountain...La La Rose keeps getting farther and farther from her Clementine!  Will she ever be safe in her arms again?

In this touching story, Satomi Ichikawa seamlessly captures both the beauty of Luxembourg Gardens in Paris and the very special love between a child and her favorite doll.

“Ichikawa’s ink-and watercolor paintings are a wonderful mix of action and thoughfulness, sweetness and subtlety that extend the story and give it life past a first reading. A very satisfying story that captures the magic and excitement of a special place.”—Booklist, starred review
