Charlie and Lola are the main characters in a series of books by Lauren Child . They is also a TV series based on the books .
Lola is an energetic, independant little girl of 4 years old, and Charlie is the unendingly patient big brother, who, as all big brothers should, looks out for his little sister , making sure her imagination doesn't lead her into too much mischief . He's also the narrator of the book .
The plot is really very simple - Charlie has to supervise Lola eating her dinner, and Lola, like many little girls (in fact, extraordinarily like my own daughter) is a fussy eater - peas are too small and green to even bother with, and carrots are strictly for rabbits , NOT for little girls .
Charlie resorts to a trick I'm sure many of us parents recognise - renaming foods and bringing an element of fun and imagination to dinnertimes . Carrots are no longer carrots, but orange twisters from the planet jupiter, and mashed potatoes are now cloud fluff, freshly plucked from the sky .
Each item of food becomes something else, and Lola tries them all excitedly - after all, cloud fluff is far more exiting than mashed potato. The book ends with Lola eating a tomato - something she said she would 'Never, not ever' eat, and surprised Charlie by renaming it herself - it's no longer a tomato but a moon squirter.
My daughter enjoyed this book - I actually purchased it for her because of the title (my daughter despises tomato). She's 6, and found it simple to read, in fact it may have been just a tiny bit too easy for her , but I like books that she can read independently, and she's turning into a little bookworm .
The illustrations in this book are charming - a mixture of collage, photography, and drawings in crayon and pen . This is a very distinctive style used by Lauren Child in most of her books, and is instantly recognisable .
Although this is a kids book, I have to admit I enjoyed it too- the similarities between Lola and my own Daughter made me smile, and having resorted to the same tactic as Charlie to get her to eat her dinner, I found it amusing . In my house, brocolli florets are fairy trees, and meatballs are pixie footballs, so it was a very familiar situation.
My daughter has actually started to be a little less fussy in her eating now - and while I can't credit that entirely to the book, I do think it helped . She says 'Lola is younger than me, and if she can be brave and try new foods, I can be too, because I'm bigger'.
She still hates tomatoes though.
This book has a cover price of 5.99, although I'm sure if you look around you can find it cheaper. I'd definitely recommend it it for any young child, not just fussy eaters .
Not too sure whats going on with the picture ciao has up for this product, oh well!
Advantages: Popular characters and a relevant subject matter to children & fussy eaters! Disadvantages: None
~ Charlie and Lola ~
Charlie and Lola are very popular television / cbeebies characters.
The siblings were first introduced in this book ' Iwillnotever, NEVEReat a tomato' and first aired on tv in the autumn of 2005. Charlie is a boy of approximately 7 years with a younger sister called Lola.
The creator of Charlie and Lola, LaurenChild has created quite a lot of books in a short space of time, some of which I have listed below:
* I absolutely must do colouring-in now!
* I am not sleepy and IwillNOT go to bed.
* Snow is my favourite and my best.
* I am TOO absolutely small for school
* Whoops! But it wasn't me.
~ The Story ~
The story is told by Charlie. He introduces his sister, Lola descrbing her as small and very funny!
He tells the reader that sometimes he has to keep an eye on her and even has to give her ...
Advantages: SO FUNNY! Disadvantages: umm...hmm...ahh...
Charlie and Lola have been one of LaurenChild's many fantastic book characters! When I wrote the letter to her (cross my heart and swear to God I did!) I know that LaurenChild is one of Britain's Best Authors!
"IwillnoteverNEVEReat a tomato!" Is a really funny book about Charlie and Lola where Lola says: "I do noteat peas or carrots or potatoes, mushrooms or spaghetti or eggs or sausages. I do noteat cauliflower or cabbage or baked beans or bananas or oranges. And I am not keen on apples or rice or cheese or fish fingers. And I absolutely willnotevernevereat a tomato." Then Charlie wants Lola to stop behaving this way so Charlie plays a good trick on Lola. Charlie says: "Oh you think these are carrots. These are not carrots. These are orange twiglets from Jupiter." Lola then says: "They look just like carrots to me ...
Advantages: Children will identify with the food Disadvantages: None
book from the series which I am reviewing today is my younger daughter's absolute favourite. Its title 'Iwillnotevernevereat a tomato' is a sentence she repeats endlessly. It's particularly pertinent to her because she has refused to touch a tomato her entire life. This causes me much grief, being fully aware of the health benefits of tomatoes. I hoped this book could help her overcome her dislike of tomatoes.
I can't say it will do much for helping her with her grammar either, but she's only four years old herself and the language used is meant to reflect how young children talk to each other.
~~~The Story~~~
As in common with most of the Charlie and Lola books, these two characters are the only stars featured in this book. Charlie introduces himself and his sister to the reader and explains that his Mum and Dad sometimes ask ...
