Charlie and Lola, the lovable brother and sister duo of Child's books, are now TV stars.

With TV fame comes a variety of spin-offs including a series of new story and sticker books.

This is one of them and while the stickers are good fun, the story is not as engaging as others in the Charlie and Lola series.

Lolo is upset because her favourite book is not available at the library and she has to be persuaded to check out another.

And that's it.

Visually, the illustrations are brilliant, displaying Child's wonderful mix-and-match style of drawing and montage.

But the book is a pale relation of the original Charlie and Lola stories.
