My daughter loves to watch Charlie & Lola on TV or DVD and so do I - the stories are simply written and yet so engaging you can read them over and over to your pre-schooler and they enjoy them every time. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a small child in their family who likes bedtime stories read to them before they sleep - none of these books is overly long, but they are cute and often very funny to read (I have laughed aloud while reading sometimes!). Lauren Child is highly awarded and deservedly so - all parents, guardians, baby sitters and grand parents will love reading these books!
