Not that I'm complaining, even with ghost writers (in this case Bridget Hurst) and Tiger Aspect (TV production company) illustration, Child's Charlie and Lola books continue to enchant.
In Look After Your Planet, Lola is determined to declutter her room after seeing Charlie's friend Marty's big brother's bedroom pigsty.
Whilst sorting through her room, Lola learns about recycling (as opposed to bicycling). Charlie takes his curious little sister on a journey through many of the possibilities of re-use, from paper to plastic, cans and bottles.
The next day, Lola takes her findings to school - and very soon the students and teachers are also on board. They even hold a tree-planting session.
Resplendent with the design gorgeousness that is Charlie and Lola books, this is a fabulous introduction for littlies on the benefits of ecological awareness. Ideal for both home and school libraries.
