We love all the Charlie and Lola books, they are funny, well written and the illustrations are unusual. Most parents will know the stories, about a brother and younger sister, and their daily life at home and in school. Adults are only in the periphery, only mentioned and never seen, it is truly told from a child's perspective. The Charlie and Lola books are always kind and never soppy, Lola also has a very funny way of saying things. We have to give a small warning for parents with fussy eaters with this particular book; what your child remembers from the book might be that Lola refuses to eat, not that she understands there is nothing wrong with tomatoes, or peas, or carrots, or potatoes...
Do you have any great tips to share?
