Overview

The critically acclaimed Charlie and Lola books — now an animated series on television!

Lola is a fussy eater. A very fussy eater. She won’t eat her carrots (until her brother Charlie reveals that they’re orange twiglets from Jupiter). She won’t eat her mashed potatoes (until Charlie explains that they’re cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji). There are many things Lola won’t eat, including - and especially - tomatoes. Or will she? Two endearing siblings star in a witty story about the triumph of imagination over proclivity.

"Youngsters will never - not ever - pass up a second helping." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

A fussy eater decides to sample the carrots after her brother convinces her that they are really orange twiglets from Jupiter.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Child (Clarice Bean, That's Me) here serves up a delectable variation on the picky-eater-themed tale. Charlie's parents give him the formidable task of feeding dinner to his fussy younger sister, Lola. The clever boy cajoles his sibling into eating foods that she insists "I do not eat." The girl lists such forbidden fruits as carrots, peas, potatoes, fish sticks and--the most dreaded--tomatoes, all of which her brother is dishing up for the meal. "These are not carrots. These are orange twiglets from Jupiter," maintains Charlie when Lola turns up her nose. He devises similarly tempting pseudonyms for other edibles: peas are rare "green drops" from Greenland that fall from the sky; mashed potatoes are cloud fluff from "the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji." A playful arrangement of type in a variety of fonts and sizes combined with mixed-media art that overlays photos on fanciful, childlike drawings provide a feast for young readers' eyes and mimic the boy's upbeat attitude. Finally, Lola herself follows her brother's example and asks him to pass the "moonsquirters my favorite," otherwise known as guess what? Apt not to be satiated with one serving of this appetizing fare, youngsters will never--not ever--pass up a second helping. Ages 4-8. (Sept.) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.

    A Must for Children

    My daughter loves this book so much that the pages of her paperback are falling apart, but that just gives this fantastic book more character.

    She is 20-months old and reads along with us and just laughs at all that Charlie and Lola do and say.

    We're getting her more C&L books for Christmas this year.

    I love Charlie & Lola books!

    I love Charlie and Lola, and this is a particularly good one- albeit not written by Lauren Childs, which would have made it even better. It didn't trick my daughter into wanting to eat vegetables like I hoped, but she laughed at every page. Go for the originals first and you will be hooked on the Charlie and Lola books for sure. And by all means read these stories to your child in Charlie and Lola's super duper British accent, and they will love love love it all the more more more. It's "Chaaalie" not "Charlie!" We love Charlie and Lola!

    Cute

    My 5 year old wanted to buy this book, and while it is very cute and colorful, she hasn't asked to re-read it yet. I think she may have been a bit too old for the story because she didn't quite buy the idea of re-naming the food with silly names in order to eat it. I think it would be a wonderful book for a younger child who is struggling with being afraid to try new foods since it is very creative and silly.

    Good for all ages!

    I purchased this book because my 2 year old granddaughter loves the show on TV. We so enjoyed the book, it was written exactly how the characters speak on the show. The pictures are colorful & imaginative & kept her attention. When my 7 year old niece came over, she could read the book herself. She thought it was a funny story. So whether 2 or 7 it was very well liked by these little girls.

    Hooray for Charlie & Lola

    I love all of Lauren Child's books. My four year-old daughter has me read one to her at bedtime each night. The characters are fascinating to her. Each of her books in the Charlie and Lola series addresses a different challenge that parents face while raising small children. My daughter even tried fish sticks and tomatoes after we read this! One of our favorite shows from the Charlie and Lola series on Disney Channel is one about Lola wanting a dog. I hope this one will be one of the upcoming books for Mrs. Child to publish. These books are great!

    Fantastic!

    I love this book, and in fact all of lauren Child's work. The art is great and the books are so funny.I read this book to my class of kindergartners before i had kids, and following it we made our own mini pizzas with veggies. The kids are all the veggies! :-) Now i have 2 kids myself, and my son loves this book as well. And, to my joy, i found out the other day that the Disney channel has a cartoon on Charlie and Lola. Yippee!

    Play Along with the Joke!

    Many young children don't like tomatoes. Some retain that distaste into adulthood. This story shows that stated fussiness about food can simply be a way of getting attention. Parents: Pay attention to this story! The colorful collages of photographs and childlike drawings bring excitement and freshness to the story. Lola is a 'small and very fussy' eater. Charlie is assigned by their parents to feed Lola. Lola begins to expound her theories: 'carrots are for rabbits' 'peas are too small and too green' Lola goes on to list peas, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, spaghetti, eggs, sausages, cauliflower, cabbage, baked beans, bananas, and oranges as banned items. She also notes her reservations about apples, rice, cheese, and fish sticks. 'And I absolutely will never not ever eat a tomato.' Sounds like peanut butter and jelly are coming up to me. Then Charlie attacks directly by putting out some carrots. Lola looks at them and says, 'Then why are those carrots there, Charlie?' 'Those are orange twiglets from Jupiter,' says Charlie. 'Mmm, not bad,' Lola replied, 'and took another bite.' Charlie puts out peas and describes them as 'green drops from Greenland' and Lola finds them 'quite tasty.' Mashed potatoes become 'cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji,' and Lola decides 'I love to eat clouds.' Fish sticks become 'ocean nibbles from the supermarket under the sea -- mermaids eat them all the time.' Lola wants to know if she can have more. Suddenly Lola turns the tables, 'Charlie, will you pass me one of those?' Lola continued, 'Yes, of course, moonsquirters are my favorite.' 'You didn't think they were tomatoes, did you, Charlie?' Obviously, Lola knows that they are playing a game, and she likes it. The new game seems like more fun than laying down the law about what she will and won't eat. The game puts her in charge by letting her name the foods, as well as her usual game of saying what she will not eat. Charlie makes room for Lola to assert herself, and all is well. With children, there is a tendency to treat them like subjects of a King or a Queen. Actually, they feel quite grown up at a young age and want to have some autonomy. Choice of foods can simply be a testing of limits. But all children would rather have fun, and can easily be distracted by making the potential confrontation into a game, instead. This book eloquently makes that point, and ensures many more peaceful hours in many households. After you finish reading the story, you should think about where else you can kid your child out of her or his bad mood. Come to think of it, when will that approach work with adults as well? Look for the potential to improve every communication! Donald Mitchell, co-author of The Irresistible Growth Enterprise and The 2,000 Percent Solution
