The book we're sharing this week has been chosen by Sunnyboy.
I am NOT sleepy and I WILL NOT go to bed by Lauren Child is a charming story with colourful and eccentric illustrations. Sunnyboy really enjoys the stories of Charlie and Lola's everyday life and their quirky conversations, and I've posted before about how he mastered
using the mouse while watching
Charlie and Lola clips on the computer.
Usually, when I say,"Lola, Mum says it is time for bed,"she says,"No! I am NOT sleepy and I WILL NOT go to bed."I say,"But all the birdshave gone to sleep."She says,"But I am not a bird,Charlie."Find out more about

Love Charlie and Lola...
ReplyDeleteMia and Tarka like Charlie and Lola too :)
ReplyDeleteOh we love Charlie and Lola. Recently James had to spend 2 weeks in traction (Breastfeeding was not easy, or encouraged but we managed) The Charlie and Lola dvds certainly helped us while away some of the time. I so want Charlie to be my big brother xxx
ReplyDeleteJacqui, how wonderful that you managed to breast-feed while James was in traction for 2 weeks. What a shame it wasn't encouraged. I know if sunnyboy was in that situation he would be wanting to breastfeed :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a Pippi Longstocking book illustrated by the same person. I just love the pictures! Someone recently told me she did Charlie and Lola, too, so I will have to look at the library :)
ReplyDeleteWe don't have cable, but when we did Emily used to really enjoy watching Charlie and Lola. Now we borrow the DVD's from the library, and watch clips on the computer. The books are so charming, and for a long time Emily called cookies "biscuits", which I thought was so properly British!
ReplyDeleteOh, Charlie loves charlie and Lola.....wonder why lol :)

ReplyDeleteOh this looks so cute! If my little one could talk, I'm sure that's what she'd be saying!
ReplyDeleteOh, we love Charlie and Lola! "But Excuse Me, That is MY Book" is a favorite around here. :o) We love this one as well.
