Synopsis

Charlie's little sister Lola is nearly big enough to go to school - but Lola is not so sure. She thinks it probably would be useful to read and write and count, but she doesn't really have time for school - she's much too busy doing extremely important things at home. And, besides, Lola's invisible friend, Soren Lorensen, is slightly nervous about going to school on his own ...This classic tale of first-day-at-school worries addresses childrens' fears with warmth, humour, and a lot of fun. As seen on CBeebies! Over three million Charlie and Lola books have been sold worldwide. Look out for other classic stories: I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato I Am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed Slightly Invisible One Thing
