Does Anybody Love Me? — Gillian Lobel

Messy, boisterous Charlie means well, but she keeps upsetting her parents. Her chocolate pudding, made with crumbly dirt, pebbles, and sand, needed a little water from the kitchen sink. But she stirred it a little too vigorously, and then Dad showed up. Charlie is adventuresome and determined, but she and Panda need a speedy rescue and scolding when they finally run away from home. Charming Charlie finds a friend in her grandpa in this very memorable story! Does Anybody Love Me? is Gillian Lobel's third picture-book story. Artist Rosalind Beardshaw is the winner of a Kate Greenaway Award for illustration.
