Charlie and Lola, first seen in I Will Not Ever NEVER Eat a Tomato, are set to be stars of the screen and page. A major animation acquisition for the BBC and first airing on prime time children's TV in October 2005, Charlie and Lola are set for superstardom!

Lola loves dogs. So when Charlie takes Lola and her friend Lotta to the park with his friend Marv and Marv's dog Sizzles, Lola is thrilled. Marv lets her and Lotta look after Sizzles on the promise that they don't let him off the lead. But Lola and Lotta are so over-excited that, of course, they let Sizzles go and then have a panicky search for him all round the park. Imagine their relief when Sizzles appears until he's followed by an identical dog. They know that Sizzles is extremely very clever and so can tell which dog is the right Sizzles - he's the one that he sits down when they tell him. Yet another crisis averted for Lola!

The book includes a page of fabulous stickers!

Industry Reviews

Charlie and Lola are back and this time it's about to snow. Charlie warns Lola that it may happen while she's sleeping, but Lola, in love with snow, is not convinced. First witness to the initial flurry, Lola, comforted, drifts off as the snow piles up. The following morning the girls and their friends go to the park to make snow angels, go sledding and build a snowman (and a snow dog). By the next day, though, the snow has melted and Lola is mournful. Why can't it snow every day? It's up to Charlie to convince her that moderation is important in all things, even snow, and a quick trip to the earth's colder regions seems to do the trick. Besides, there might be something special in the freezer. While the artwork is taken from the television show and the text is based on a script by someone else, Child's perfectly captured children's voices, vividly realized characters and appealing collage style are very much in evidence here. A delectable treat for a snowy-or not-so-snowy-day. (Picture book. 3-7) (Kirkus Reviews)
