A classic Charlie and Lola picture book from Children's Laureate Lauren Child.

Charlie and his friend Marv are in search of strange and tricky creatures. They would like to search without Charlie's little sister Lola bothering them. But Lola wants to join in.

Luckily, Lola and her invisible friend, Soren Lorensen, know exactly how to catch strange and tricky creatures. All they need is a tea set, a little cart and a rabbit. (And, of course, one or three drops of pink milk.)

With a gentle message about learning to play together, this hilariously inventive tale will encourage children to go on their own make-believe adventures!

'A witty book that reminds us why we fell in love with Charlie and Lola.' Junior

An absolutely new and completely original Charlie and Lola picture book in paperback, from the award-winning and bestselling author and illustrator, Lauren Child.
