The critically acclaimed Charlie and Lola books -- now an animated series on television! Lola is a fussy eater. A very fussy eater. She wont eat her carrots (until her brother Charlie reveals that theyre orange twiglets from Jupiter). She wont eat her mashed potatoes (until Charlie explains that theyre cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji). There are many things Lola wont eat, including - and especially - tomatoes. Or will she? Two endearing siblings star in a witty story about the triumph of imagination over proclivity.
