Lola and Charlie--great team again!, 2008-07-20
Lola and Charlie are among my favorites as a traveling nanny. I put them in my nanny bag and children like them so much I must often buy another copy as I have left them with the children!
The books have a gentle way of covering values and Charlie is the ideal model of a big brother. I have even used him as an example with a bossy older sibling with "I wonder how Charlie would have handled this?"!
The DVDs are great, making the stories come to life. No fancy graphics, no intricate or soupy sweet over dramatizing here! Just a simple story line with that great little "english" accent we all try to imitate later!
As always Amazon ships quickly and efficiently!

bright and funny - but excellent for kids , 2007-09-29
My kids love these books, which is a great selling point, I love these books which is great if you have to read them all the time, but even better, they have a great message which is told in a fun way. If you have sibling children who are fighting over the same stuff, or interfering with one another's toys and games, this is a wonderful book with a message.
Lola, who is ever such a little bit, not quite naughty is the little sister of Charlie. Charlie helps look after her, but sometimes it is not that easy becasue she is very small and very funny. Charlie makes a rocket using recycled junk, and wins a prize at school. He asks Lola not to play with it. However Lola waits until charlie is gone out and starts playing with her imaginery friend, Soren Lorensen. Soren suggests that they use the rocket to play with the elephant and two hyenas (who has hyenas in their games!!!!!!) The rocket breaks and when Charlie gets back Lola is left to explain what has happened to the rocket. It is very funny watching Lola talk to Soren Lorensen and finding new excuses, you can really hear the child's voice. In the end Lola is forced to fess up and everything is fixed up and ok.
I love Charlie and Lola Books, and also Lauren's other books on Clarice Bean (gorgeous!)The illustrations are amazing, a mixture of appealing child like art and collage. There are some great interlinking pictures with the text for early readers too.
A wonderful series and great on DVD too.

The cutest kids ever!, 2007-08-24
My granddaughters in Australia are keen fans of the Charlie and Lola books. In their case life imitates art since they have a big brother who's just as nurturing as Charlie is!
In fact I first heard this book read to the girls by their teen-aged brother, and the experience brought a smile to my face.
Lola's impulse control is not great, and in WHOOPS! BUT IT WASN'T ME she again tries Charlie's patience -- this time by breaking his handmade, prize-winning rocket. But the details of the story aren't so important as the gentle example for little ones. Kids see that Lola is loved no matter how outrageous she is, and Charlie models patience, negotiation and resourcefulness. Nice lessons slipped in with a fun story.
Lauren Child's sweet stories and delightful illustrations charm children and adults alike. This is my favorite (so far) of the Charlie and Lola books.

children just love Charlei and Lola, 2007-05-12
I purchased the book "Whoop!But It Wasn't Me(Charlie & Lola)" for my neice who is 21/2 years old & who absolutley love Charlie and Lola. On receipt of this book she would not put it down and even took a nap with the book. The only down side if you want to call it that is she wants me to read it every day 2-3 times a day.

Every child can relate, 2007-03-09
Charlie and his little sister Lola share another totally believable story with us, excellent illustrations, nice blend of images. Dialog accurately reflects young children's speech and draws them into listening as they enjoy the pictures.
