Sizzles is Completely Not Here

A Charlie and Lola book

by

Lauren Child
Illustrator: Lauren Child

Lola is meant to be looking after Sizzles the dog, but he has vanished. Where can he be? The pleasure of this big board book lies in the 50 flaps – an average of 10 per page.

 

You get to take a tour of Charlie and Lola's house, peering inside cupboards, behind doors, under cushions and in the fridge. The trademark mix of artwork and photographic styles are used to entertaining effect - a highly realistic-looking tomato sandwich has a goggly-eyed caterpillar inside it.

 

Behind every flap is the entertaining jumble of family life – and you even get to peek through the windows of all Charlie and Lola's neighbours. Sure to be requested by small children again and again.
