It’s Field Day at Charlie and Lola’s school and each student is allowed to choose one activity in which to participate.

2.0 out of 5 stars TV deriviative - not Lauren Child, September 11, 2008

By	Paul Carr (Silver Spring, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Charlie and Lola books actually authored by Lauren Child are far more charming and imaginative then the tv episodes in book form that have been churned out lately. My kids find them mostly forgettable, and keep turning back to the Child originals. The TV books are much less about Lola's highly active imagination, and more about everyday events. Small children basically live inside their imaginations, and so are less interested in how well Lola can concentrate. "I am Not Sleepy and Will Not Go to Bed" ,for example, in which Lola imagines dancing dogs, whales in the tub, a toothbrushing lion, and so on, has been worn out by many, many bedtime readings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cute book, February 12, 2009

By	Mec (NJ) - See all my reviews

I bought this book not knowing Charlie & Lola, and I really enjoyed it. I like the way the author writes, and the way the bother and sister interact. I think it's a very sweet book, and my 3 1/2 year old really likes it.
