Description

A completely NEW and original picture book to celebrate 25 years of the iconic Charlie and Lola!

I have this little sister Lola. She is small and very funny. 
If Lola even thinks about Christmas she can't sit still on her chair. 
If you BREATHE the word Christmas she hops up and down.
If you say, "Christmas is coming," she just runs round and round.

Lola is wishing every minute for Christmas, but it is a long way away and too far to wait. Can her brother Charlie think of some clever ways to make the time pass more quickly? 

Find out in this hugely relatable and funny story about how to wait for something when you really can't wait from bestselling and award-winning Lauren Child.

  • Satisfying, stylish storytelling from a true picture book original
  • The return of beloved siblings Charlie and Lola, stars of the BAFTA award-winning CBeebies TV series
  • The perfect book to kickstart your Christmas countdown
