Charlie and Lola

During her first sleepover, when it is time for bed and the lights are turned off, Lola wants to go home, but her friend Lotta relieves her fears with imaginary stories.

Charlie has promised his friend, Marv, that he will be there for the big soccer game, but Lola has a cold and Charlie meets her every demand, with decreasing patience, until it looks as if Lola will never let him leave.

Lola, who is small and very funny, prepares for Field Day with help from her older brother Charlie, and her friends Lotta and Marv, but while she finds that most of the games are difficult, she might do well in the egg-and-spoon race, if she practices her concentration.

Charlie and Lola's summer fun takes a nosedive when Lola refuses to talk to their neighbor, Arnold Wolf, after he dumps her ice cream cone on the ground.

Lola tries to find a way to lift Charlie's spirits when he breaks his arm, cutting short their plans to put on a circus show.

Lola brings the class guinea pig, Bert, home during summer vacation, and when she and her brother Charlie build a guinea pig run, he escapes, causing them to search everywhere until they find that Bert has surprisingly given birth to babies.

Lola, whose big brother always manages to scare her and make her jump, sets out to make him jump, too.

Lola and Lotta convince Charlie's friend Marv that they can look after his dog Sizzles while they are all at the park, but the girls actually know less about dogs than they think they do.

Lola wants to win every game against her older brother Charlie, even if it means making up creative shortcuts.
