Help! I really mean it!
Granny and Grandpa's cat, Caspar, has come to stay with Charlie and Lola. Lola loves looking after Caspar but keeps calling for Charlie's help. Her first call is "by accident" but Lola and Lotta quickly discover that it's quite fun calling for Charlie and watching him come running.
Ìý
Fun, that is, until Caspar is really in trouble and Lola and Lotta really need Charlie; "Help! Caspar is stuck up in the sky, and his hat has gone all wonky!" But Charlie doesn't believe them. Will Lola and Lotta be able to get Caspar out of trouble all by themselves?Ìý
Ìý
I am making a craze
Everyone is hooley hooping – Charlie, Marv, Lotta…Ìý in fact the whole school is hooley hooping, and Lola has had enough. She decides to make up a new craze, but soon realises it's not as easy as you might think. Until she hits on 'Cuppy Catch-Ball'.
Ìý
I can train your dog
Marv's Mum says Sizzles really is a very naughty dog but Lola knows this isn't true. Sizzle just needs some practice! Charlie and Lola take Sizzles back to their flat and set about "training" him. Things aren't going well and then they discover that Sizzles will do anything for a sausage. Which is fine until Morten, Marv's little brother, eats Sizzles Sausage by accident!
Ìý
It's raining, it's boring
It's raining and everyone is bored, even Sizzles is bored. The toy cupboard is full of boring toys, until Marv finds an intriguing box with an intriguing challenge. The next thing they know, the children are in a 'rain race' desperately trying to finish all the games in the box before the rain stops.
Ìý
Charlie and Marv steam ahead, but Lola is having trouble keeping up, and gradually loses interest. Her dot to dot isn't quite right, and her tiddly wink doesn't tiddle. Then the boys get stuck on the memory game, and Lola surprises everyone.
Ìý
I wish I could do that, and also that too
Lola promises to play beads on Friday with her friend from school, but then Marv invites her to his special space party on the very same day!Ìý She loves beads and she did promise, but there is going to be games and cake and everything at Marv's house! What is Lola going to do?!
I can dance like a dance
Lola is sure that she is an "ever so good dancerer". But some dancing is a bit too swirly, some is too jumpy, and ballet is too floaty. Mini Reader tries to teach Lola to tap dance but that proves to be too shuffly and not tappy enough. Just when she thinks she will never ever be any good she finds a way of combining all the different dances and coming up with one big special dance all of her own – Lola dancing!
Ìý
I am extremely absolutely boiling
Outside the weather is extremely and absolutely boiling hot. Lola, Charlie and Arnold Wolf (from next door) try to cool down with fanning, panting and then ice creams. But Arnold takes a rather a big bite of Lola's ice-cream and the whole thing plops to the ground. To make matters worse Arnold won't share his, so Lola doesn't want to be his friend ever again no matter how hot it is!Ìý
Ìý
Charlie and Lola play in the garden, but then Arnold appears with a brand new irresistible paddling pool, and asks them to play. Will Arnold ever say sorry? Will Lola ever forgive him?
Ìý
But where completely are we?
Mum and Dad let Charlie and Lola go 'camping' in the garden. Charlie is kitted up like a real explorer, and is all excited by the prospect of wild animals, survival and living off the land, but Lola isn't so sure. Home seems a long way away, and what's more it's started raining! Suddenly the idea of camping doesn't seem fun anymore and Lola wants to go back inside. Then Charlie has a really good idea.
Ìý
I really, really need actual ice skates
Having begged Granny and Grandpa for a scooter, Lola suddenly decides that she now wants a pair of real, actual ice skates. Everyone is dubious. Charlie reminds her she felt the same about her old yo-yo and Dad warns her that he doesn't want to find the ice-skates in the bottom of her cupboard. However, Lola is adamant, she needs actual ice skates because they are sparkly and white, and when she gets them, she will be the best ice skaterer in the whole school.Ìý But, it’s not quite that simple.
Ìý
Charlie and Lola also have an ever so wonderful website:Ìý
