Charlie and Lola are the principal characters from a series of children's picture books by Lauren Child. The stories are narrated by seven-year-old Charlie, and focus on the antics of his imaginative and excitable four-year-old sister, Lola. The books as well as the television series also emphasise the relationship between closely-aged siblings.

The first "Charlie and Lola" book, I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato, published in 2001, won the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal. The character of Lola was based upon an inquisitive little girl whom Child encountered on a train in Denmark. The parents have been mentioned but not seen.
he books have been adapted by Tiger Aspect into a cartoon series, using a collage style of animation which accurately captures the style of the original books. 2D cel animation, paper cutout, fabric design, real textures, photomontage, and archive footage are all employed and subsequently animated in a software application called CelAction.[1] The cartoons are also notable for their use of children's voices, rather than adult voice actors, a technique pioneered by the Peanuts television specials. (Both the books and the cartoon also mirror Peanuts' technique of never showing adults.) The first series of 26 episodes (11 minutes each) was first broadcast on November 7, 2005 on CBeebies [2]. The second series of 26 episodes (again, 11 minutes each) started broadcasting on CBeebies on October 2, 2006 (with the morning broadcast also being shown on BBC Two) a third series is currently airing in the UK. In the television series, Charlie is ten and Lola is five, and goes to school (her teacher is called Mrs. Hansen). In episodes of both the first and second series, Charlie celebrates his birthday (in "It's a Secret..." and "This Is Actually My Party"), although this doesn't seem to affect his age in other episodes.
