Charlie’s little sister Lola is a very fussy eater. She has a long list of foods she will not entertain passing her lips. However, Charlie thinks of an imaginative way to encourage her to try everything. Eventually, Lola eats even her pet hate, tomatoes, by choice.

The overall design of the book, with the text frequently interacting with Lauren Child’s trademark collage illustrations to create labels, will entice young readers. Other picture books featuring Charlie and Lola include:
