Celebrate 25 years of the iconic Charlie and Lola with this superly special birthday edition of the bestselling picture book about fussy eating. This modern classic has sold over 1 million copies worldwide and was the winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal.

Lola will not eat peas. In fact, she won't eat carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, cabbage, or baked beans. And she will absolutely not ever NEVER eat a tomato. But when Charlie explains that peas are actually green drops from Greenland, and carrots are really orange twiglets from Jupiter, even Lola is tempted to clear her plate...

A warm and funny picture book that's perfect for even the fussiest of eaters, from the award-winning creator, Lauren Child.

This special new edition features the original story with behind-the-scenes extras like funny responses to frequently-asked questions, early character sketches, and a sneak-peek into the making of the book. Don't miss these other original Charlie and Lola picture books:
