Charlie and Lola

My boi R and me are GREAT fans of Charlie and Lola by Lauren Child, an English author and illustrator. Charlie and Lola is a series of picture books with different plots, each starting off with Charlie saying, "I have this little sister, Lola. She is small and very funny." Her other well-known novels include Clarice Beans.

Charlie and Lola is fun filled and imaginative animated series for young children, age 4-8. It focuses on the relationship between brother and sister. CHARLIE and LOLA, and tells the story of how they handle the little issues that they, as young children, encounter everyday, along with their bestest friends; Marv, Lotta, Sizzles and Soren Lorensen.


CHARACTERS:-

CHARLIE is 7 year old. He hangs out with Marv, his best friend, who isn't imaginary. He likes playing football, making rockets and racing cars. Charlie also likes Lola, his younger sister. Lola makes him laugh - she's illogical and funny. Together they can go anywhere and be anything. He looks out for Lola and inspires her. He has all the time in the world for her...unless she breaks his ultimate favourite toy.


LOLA is 4, going on 5. And she knows her mind. She likes pink milk, swimming with whales and her bestest friend Lotta. She also like Sizzles, Marv's Dog. Oh and don't foret Soren Lorensen, her imaginery friend. No one can see him except Lola. She knows what she likes and dislikes, and feels extremely, ever so strongly about it.

She doesn't like mushrooms, numbers bigger than ten or itchy jumpers. And she will not ever, never eat a tomato. Lola's not deliberately difficult.....she's just working out who she is and where she fits into the world. She loves her brother, Charlie.


SOREN LORENSEN is Lola's imaginery friend. When someone else is in the room, he's transparent and only Lola can communicate with him. But when they are left alone, they can talk openly and put the world to rights - in a little person way.


MARV is the same age as Charlie and his best friend. They go to the same school and they live in the same block of flats. He lives downstairs and has a very stupid sausage dog called Sizzles. Marv and Charlie love playing football in the park and making things together - assault courses for dog training, castle and outer space music.


LOTTA lives down the road, in a little house. She's the same age as Lola. and they met on their first day at school. They have a very giggly, over excited relationship - chatting and holding hands a LOT.
