Charlie and Lola: But Excuse Me That is My Book




An extremely good snowy story all about Charlie and Lola - in an upsized format.

Lola can't wait for it to snow. 'Snow is my favourite and my best,' she says. It snows all through the night and in the morning everything is extremely, completely white! Charlie and Lola play in the snowy park with their friends - they make snow angels, go sledging and Lola even makes a snow dog - just like Sizzles! But by the very next day all the snow has completely disappeared. Lola wishes it would snow every day,but Charlie compares snow to birthdays - they wouldn't be special if they happened every day. He takes Lola on an imaginary adventure to see penguins and polar bears living in their snowy homes and soon Lola realizes that it would be absolutely too cold to swim or wear her stripy party dress if it snowed all the time. Another winning story that perfectly captures a child's anticipation of the first snow of winter.
