Madonna has launched her new children's book by getting daughter Lourdes to read it to a group of sick youngsters. The 46-year-old singer, who is currently on the British leg of her 're-Invention' tour, visited the children at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital and treated them to extracts from her latest novel, 'Yakov and the Seven Thieves'. But the Queen of Pop couldn't read to them herself, as she was performing later that night - so seven-year-old Lourdes - who Madonna nicknames Lola - took her place. Madonna told the children: "I've got a concert soon and I need to rest my voice, so my daughter, Lola, is going to read for you instead." The book, which tells the story of couple who are left heartbroken when their son, Mikhail, is taken very ill, is the third in a series of five, following earlier novels 'The English Roses' and 'Mr Peabody's Apples'. When the reading was over, nine-year-old patient Maria Munro fulfilled her dream by getting to sing with Madonna. A spokesman for the hospital said: "The children were totally overawed. They were stunned and so thrilled to meet Madonna."One little girl, who has recently had a heart and lung transplant, got a very special visit. She has been very low but the visit absolutely made her day."
