Summary/Back cover:

A completely NEW and original Charlie and Lola picture book!

Review:

I've never met Charlie and Lola before, so the characters were brand new to my children and me.  And they went down a treat!  My 3 year old enjoyed finding the 'invisible' Soren Lorensen on each page, and my 1 year old was fascinated with the characters eyes, for some reason.  

The story itself is gorgeous - written in a child-like voice, which both my boys enjoyed, but with a lot of description. The written words wend and weave around the page, which makes the story come to life even more.

For existing Charlie and Lola fans, I recommend this as a new addition to your collection.  For those that are just meeting them for the first time, this seems to be as good a starting point as any!

If you're interested in purchasing a copy of this book, you can find it here at Fishpond.

My rating: 4 out of 5
