Celebrate 25 years with this superly special birthday edition of the first ever bestselling and award-winning Charlie and Lola book.

Lola will not eat peas. In fact she won't eat carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, cabbage or baked beans. And she will absolutely not ever NEVER eat a tomato. But when Charlie explains that peas are actually green drops from Greenland, and carrots are really orange twiglets from Jupiter, even Lola is tempted to clear her plate . . .

A warm and funny picture book that's perfect for even the fussiest of eaters: over 1 million copies sold and winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal!

This special new edition features the original story with behind-the-scenes extras like funny responses to frequently-asked questions plus early character sketches and a sneak-peek into the making of the book.
