Charlie and Lola: Say Cheese! (Charlie & Lola)
by
Lauren Child
Lola has promised her mother that she will stay clean and tidy for school picture day. It will be easy peasy, lemon squeezy! says Lola. But staying clean and tidy is not so easy, especially when there is finger painting to do and a game of puddles to play. By the time Lola poses for her picture, she is covered in paint and pink milk, and her extremely special photograph ...more

What a cute book! As a teacher, I would definitely use this with young children (like my pre-k or kindergarten students) as they might be taking their first school picture. Parents often times get super serious about these pictures as they want them to be "perfect," and that is exactly what this book is about, but at the end of it all as long as you're smiling, parents will always be happy. I also think a lot of parents should read this for themselves so they are reminded the true mean...more
We've seen the television show, but Tamsin got us interested in the books. The pictures and text are fun to look at and read and the stories are always funny. This one is about Lola getting her picture taken at school. Despite her efforts to stay clean, she gets very messy before the photograph is taken. She still has a great smile, though. It's just how pictures usually go in our family!
Another book Sam liked to read at 20 months. I was surprised that he liked this, since he would have no idea what taking a school picture is all about, but he picked it out on his own to read several nights in a row.
Beyond the tomato, this is by far my 2nd fav Lola & Charlie title. It's picture day at school and Lola just cannot stay clean. But she has a nice smile. Fun, amusing and the girls enjoyed it.
This is not our most read Charlie and Lola book, but it is the one my daughter talks about often. She promised on her preschool picture day that she would not be like Lola. Wonderful books!
As another review said, the Charlie said, Lola said, Lotta said made it really awkward to read. I prefer the TV version.
Difficult to read because of all the "Lola says..." and "Lotta says.." it makes it a very choppy read.
After reading this book to Q, she said, "I would give that book a 1 star" but she didn't say why.
I thought this book was delightful, absolutely delightful. You can see the dilemma that Lola is in and how hard she tries to stay clean and tidy, but somehow can't help but mess up. If I hadn't looked very closely at this book, I would have thought that it was written by Lauren Child, but it is actually not. It is based on the tv show written by someone else and Lauren Child gets her name on the side, pretty sneaky. A very cute book that I'd recommend.

Charlie & Lola made me look at the world with child's perspective - full of imagination!
This story was all over the place. It needed to be tightened up a lot. And wayyy too much "Lola says" and "Lotta says". Reading it aloud, you realize how ridiculous all those tags sound on every. single. page. It looks like this might not have been written by Lauren Child--it says "text based on the script written by Samantha Hill"--but I'm not sure. Hopefully Child didn't write it--she's much better than this![return][return]There are so many great picture books ou...more

My daughter is a huge Charlie and Lola fan! How cute are these two siblings?
I think this may have been a TV episode, although I can't find it on youtube.
It's picture day . . . but can Lola stay clean for her picture?
This is an excellent book to read to students on picture day!
Despite Charlie's warnings, and no matter how hard she tries, Lola cannot stay neat and tidy for her first school photo.
Kids love Charlie and Lola. Period. They're on TV now, so that just about guarantees their popularity. I know I can't keep the books on the shelves in the library. But honestly, that's okay with me. They're charming, funny, and creatively illustrated.
Plus, they're really fun to read with a British acccent.

Charlie and Lola are always winners in our house. This one was based on an episode written by Samantha Hill. The problem is that Lola needs to stay tidy for her school picture and...she has difficulty doing so. Charlie comes in quickly near the end to fulfill his role of helping her use her imagination, but the whole structure comes off well, mostly because of Lola's innocence as she progressively musses herself up.
Charlie and Lola are always great. This is about school picture day and how Lola tries so hard to not get her clothes messy. Charlie is, as always, a good big brother. Just TRY to not read this aloud in a British accent! I dare you!
