Alex really enjoys playing with his Charlie and Lola poseable dolls. Some times he offers one to his little sister and sometimes he wants to play on his own. All the time, though, he is a big fan of replaying the scenes of his favorite Charlie and Lola episodes. Also, when he squeezes the stomach of Charlie, he says "I have this little sister, Lola. She is small and very funny." Then, when he squeezes Lola's stomach, she says "I'm not small. I am big!"
The Charlie and Lola Absolutely Completely Complete Seasons One and Two boxed sets are great fun to enjoy. This set includes 8 discs with 52 episodes and the double-length Christmas special. As a mom, I love the creative way this show teaches children to get along together and use their imagination. It also brings my son comfort as a big brother to know that he's not alone. He really looks up to Charlie and even repeats the phrases he hears.
If you'd like a look at the show, I've attached a video below.
Finally, we've really enjoyed reading the book Slightly Invisible by Lauren Child together. Here's what the book is about.
Charlie and his friend Marv have invented an invisibility potion, which they would prefer to use without Charlie’s little sister, Lola, botheringand interrupting. But when Lola enlists a bit of help it turns out that the strange and tricky creatures have met their match in one very resourceful, inventive little sister.
This story cracks me up as Lola finds her way to get involved in her brother's game and it absolutely must be read with an English accent. ;) Alex especially enjoys finding the hidden, invisible friend on each page and listens so intently when we read this together.

Yes, mine is the home of Charlie and Lola's new biggest fans and I'm so pleased to see Alex enjoy their shows, stories, and dolls. If you need a gift idea for a child between the ages of about 4 years to about 7 years old, this is something fun and wholesome you can look into gifting.
