First in an absolutely new and original series from Charlie and Lola creator Lauren Child, starring Lola and her friend Lotta.

Meet Lotta and Lola! They are small and very chattery. Today, they are chattering about kindness and how to have goodish manners...

There's ‘hello’ and also ‘thank you’. There's ‘please’ and also ‘you’re welcome’.

And why isn't it goodish manners to say: ‘Pudding now please!’?

Well, maybe Lotta and Lola can help with that...
