I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato (Charlie and Lola)

"A playful twist on an everyday adventure about choosing a new pet." — Kirkus Reviews

Beloved siblings Charlie and Lola are back — on a quest to find Lola’s version of the perfect dog, which seems suspiciously un-doglike.

At the moment, all Lola can talk about is dogs. She says she would like one more than anything you could think of. “More than a squirrel or an actual fox,” she says. Sometimes she pretends to be a dog. And sometimes she pretends that her brother, Charlie, is a dog. The two of them love to talk about what sort of dog they would choose if Mom and Dad didn’t always say, “ABSOLUTELY NO DOGS!” Dad says he’ll take Lola to the pet store to choose a rabbit, but Lola insists that she only wants a dog, an extremely furry dog with a wiggly nose, a puffy tail, and nice ears. . . . Fans old and new will cotton to this humorous Charlie and Lola adventure sure to please any child who ever longed for the ideal pet.

"A spot-on portrayal of children’s imagination games." — Kirkus Reviews

Charlie learns that visibility is relative — but Lola’s quick-wittedness is crystal clear — in this picture book from Lauren Child. Charlie and his friend Marv have invented an invisibility potion to help them find strange and tricky creatures, which they would prefer to do without Charlie’s little sister, Lola, bothering and interrupting. But when Lola enlists a bit of help from her invisible friend, Soren Lorensen — not to mention a tea set, a rabbit, a stroller, and of course one or three glasses of pink milk — it turns out that the strange and tricky creatures have met their match in one very resourceful, inventive little sister.
