Description
Charlie and Lola: I Am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed by Lauren Child features Charlie, who has the challenging task of persuading his little sister, Lola, to go to bed. This is not an easy feat, as Lola loves staying up late.
Lola insists, "I am not slightly sleepy at 6 or 7 or 8. I am still wide awake at 9 and not at all tired at 10, 11 and 12, and I will probably still be perky at even 13 o'clock in the morning."
This utterly special 10th anniversary edition of this classic Charlie and Lola book comes with a free four-panel frieze — perfect for any fan's bedroom wall!
