Charlie and Lola

A classic Charlie and Lola bedtime story from Children's Laureate Lauren Child - now in a brilliant board book!

Charlie has this little sister Lola. Sometimes he has to try and get her to go to bed. This is a hard job because Lola likes to stay up late.

Lola says, "I am not slightly sleepy at 6 or 7 or 8. I am still wide awake at 9 and not at all tired at 10, 11 and 12 and I will probably still be perky at even 13 o'clock in the morning."

As seen on CBeebies!

Over three million Charlie and Lola books have been sold worldwide. Look out for other classic stories:
