They Call Me Naughty Lola: Personal Ads from the London Review of Books

Book Description

I've divorced better men than you. And worn more expensive shoes than these. So don't think placing this ad is the biggest comedown I've ever had to make. Sensitive F, 34.

Employed in publishing? Me too. Stay the hell away. Man on the inside seeks woman on the outside who likes milling around hospitals guessing the illnesses of out-patients. 30-35. Leeds.

They Call Me Naughty Lola is a testament to the creativity and humor that can still be found among men and women longing for love and allergic to the concepts of Internet and speed dating. Here is an irresistible collection of the most brilliant and often absurd personal ads from the world's funniest -- and most erudite -- lonely-hearts column. The ads have been called "surreal haikus of the heart," and in an age of false advertising, the men and women who write them are hindered neither by high expectations nor by positivism of any kind. And yet, while hopes of finding a suitable mate remain low, the column has produced a handful of marriages, many friendships, and at least one divorce.

Here are the young, old, fat, bald, healthy, ill, rich, and poor hoping that they can find true love, or at the very least, someone to call them Naughty Lola.

What a cute coffee table book!.......2007-09-28

I absolutely adore this book. I keep it at work sometimes and read the ads to my co-workers to brighten up our day. They are absolutely hilarious! This is a really funny coffee table book - great for conversation.

Insubstantial, but fun........2007-06-14

There's not a lot to this book, but it's an amusing read.

Disappointing.......2007-05-18

I read about this book in Entertainment magazine and purchased it right away. Unfortunately, I had misunderstood what it was about. It is a collection of personal ads that appeared in the London Review of Books; they are all written by people intentionally trying to be funny. Most of the ads are extremely self-deprecating to the point of being depressing. As someone who reads personal ads regularly to find the funny ones, I found this book disappointing. Maybe the British humor is lost on me, but I would suggest just sticking to your local personals for a real laugh.

Lonely Hearts Equal Endless Laughs.......2007-05-07

What can I say other than this book makes me laugh so hard that my ribs ache. The humor is dry, the personal ads are as precise as haiku, and nobody seems to be taking themselves too seriously. Well, maybe the "beardy physicist" who provided the ad from which the title was taken, but certainly not the parade of loners who have not forgotten that humor is the most powerful aphrodesiac of all.

Nobody's funnier than people.......2007-04-15

The carefully crafted little gems collected in this book are no doubt the cream of the crop, and thanks to Mr. Rose for doing the skimming. I have to wonder, though, if clever self deprecation can lead to successful relationships if what the authors write about themselves is true.

I bought this for my 4-1/2-year-old, and she loves it! It has the classic Charlie & Lola style, but with things to color and fill in. It has suggestions to try adding fabric and paper to create a picture like the ones in the Charlie & Lola books and shows. An excellent buy--this has generated a lot of creative play time in our house!

Book Description

It's bedtime for Charlie and Lola, the hilarious siblings from I WILL NEVER NOT EVER EAT A TOMATO.

Night owl Lola likes to stay up coloring and scribbling and wriggling and bouncing and chattering. Lola never gets tired. How can big brother Charlie convince her it's time for bed? Heralded by the WASHINGTON POST as "a delightful new voice in children's books," author-illustrator Lauren Child splashes her offbeat sense of humor and unique artwork all over this bedtime story. Laugh out loud at Lola's imaginative antics, but save a cheer for kind, patient Charlie, the big brother we'd all love to have.

Customer Reviews:

Big brothers are nice to have.......2007-03-09

Characters, dialog, and illustrations make sense to children and adults. Fun to read and to look at. This series of books is truly enjoyable and relates to the TV series. This repetition gives multi-modal exposure to children, helps them remember the stories and engages them in the words as well as the pictures.

Great Bedtime story.......2007-02-22

My 2 year old son loves when we read him this book. He's seen Charlie and Lola on TV a couple times, just enough for him to recognize the characters. It is very much like the show, it's as if they took the script and just made it into a book. Even if you haven't seen the show, I'm sure most families can relate to some of the things Charlie goes through when trying to get Lola off to bed, especially if your little one has a big imagination.

Modern Classic Feeds the Imagination.......2007-01-24

This is a great going to bed book that outlines all the necesary steps to take before going to bed in a very fun way. My two year old daughter now insists on "hopping" into bed since that is what Lola does. One word of caution: Lola comes up with very creative ideas (some would say fibs) for why she cannot take the next step for getting to bed. If you want to spark imagination in your child this is great. But if you are a strict authoritarian parent who wants a no nonsense approach to bedtime this may not be the right pick for you. Lola goes to bed without too much effort though and my daughter finds the pictures of Lola drinking her pink milk with tigers and brushing her teeth with a lion and bathing with a whale very entertaining.

Excellent.......2007-01-10

Gift for my 9-year old niece - big Charlie & Lola fan!

Easy order process and quick delivery!

Thanks!

very cute.......2006-11-10

My kids love the show and when we got them the book they were very excited. The book is as good as the show, the pictures a great too.

Lola is a very fussy eater. Carrots are for rabbits and peas are "too small and too green." One day, after rattling off her long list of despised foods, she ends with the vehement pronouncement, "And I absolutely will never not ever eat a tomato." Not convinced, Lola's older sister Charlie has an idea. She tells Lola that the orange things on the table are not carrots, but "orange twiglets from Jupiter" and peas are in fact "green drops from Greenland." Mashed potatoes, when pitched as "cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji" suddenly seem appealing to Lola. And in the end, might she even eat a tomato?

Lauren Child's wacky, expressive sketches of Lola and Charlie (much like those in Clarice Bean, That's Me) are cut out and superimposed on all sorts of textures and patterns from wallpaper to wood. Fuzzy, enlarged photographs of bowls of peas, or fish sticks, or big carrots are pasted right on top to great effect. This funny, endearing look at how children's tastes can be based more on preconception than taste buds is sure to infuse levity into the daily dinner-table struggle. The author's dedication? "With love from Lauren / who is keen on Marmite / but would rather not eat a raisin." (Ages 3 to 8) --Karin Snelson

Book Description

The critically acclaimed Charlie and Lola books -- now an animated series on television!

Lola is a fussy eater. A very fussy eater. She won’t eat her carrots (until her brother Charlie reveals that they’re orange twiglets from Jupiter). She won’t eat her mashed potatoes (until Charlie explains that they’re cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji). There are many things Lola won’t eat, including - and especially - tomatoes. Or will she? Two endearing siblings star in a witty story about the triumph of imagination over proclivity.

"Youngsters will never - not ever - pass up a second helping." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Very Cute Book.......2007-09-09

My "almost" 5 year old loves when I read her this book, especially with a (granted fake) British accent. She is a lot like Lola with the fussy eating, and her big brother is a lot like Charlie in that he tries to make it fun for her. All in all a great book, and it makes bedtime fun.

LOVE IT!!!! a top pick........2007-05-13

My son is obsessed with this series - the books and DVD's. He is also a fussy eater - perfect for that - it makes food fun and silly. Also such a wonderful example of a great sibling relationship. highly recommended. I got this when my son was 2 1/2.

Cloud Fluff Anyone?.......2007-04-17

We purchased this book for our 3 year old after enjoying "I am not tired and will not go to bed." We have enjoyed reading this book as much and it has an added perk....our very "fussy eater" now eats cloud fluff and green drops. It was as easy as making a reference to the book one night at supper and all of the sudden he ate a whole bowl of cloud fluff and some green drops (he also tried some orange twiglets!) The Charlie and Lola books are very imaginative and fun to read. I highly recommend purchasing them.

Great!.......2007-03-10

Once in a while a book comes along that steals your heart! My kids loved it, I loved it!!!

We love Charlie & Lola!!!.......2007-01-19

These books are so great! My 4 year old son loves them all and asks for them to be read to him over and over again. Whenever he's introduced to new food he'll say "I never eat tomatos" as he puts the food in his mouth to try. He totally gets this book! :)

Lola always always always has to win! No matter what games she and Charlie play, Lola always triumphs. What will happen when Charlie devises a strategy for a game that surely he will win? When playtime is through, Charlie and Lola have learned that maybe having the upper hand isn't as important as lending a hand when a brother or a sister could use a little help.

Book Description

At first, Lola does not want her wobbly tooth to ever fall out, but when she learns about the tooth fairy, she wiggles and wobbles her tooth until out it pops! Finally it is time to go to bed—but the tooth has disappeared! Now how will Lola convince the tooth fairy that she really did lose her tooth? Big brother Charlie has just the answer—if Lola has dreams so lovely that she smiles while she sleeps, the tooth fairy will be able to see for herself!

Customer Reviews:

Really helpful book, and very funny too.......2007-09-29

This book has been an enormous help to my 5 year old who has her first wobbly tooth, she was so worried about losing her tooth but this book has helped her see the process and that it can be quite fun. Lola makes everything fun and funny though.

In this book Lola has a wobbly tooth and doesn't want it to come out. That is until her friend Lotta, her brother Charlie and Charlie's friend Marv tell her what happens, and that the tooth fairy comes to visit - and that the tooth fairy brings money, and she can buy a giraffe for her farm.

It is not surprising to know that Lola wobbles the tooth after that until it comes out. However she loses the tooth and starts to cry wondering whether the tooth fairy will visit. Charlie has a brilliant idea and the day is saved.

Immensely appealing book for children and adults - great early reader material - there are cues in the book for readers to pick up the text with. The characters are immensely appealing to look at too - the artwork is brilliant - the collage effect is inspiring and there are great little touches - lots of little things to see on every page.

This is one of the best series of children's books around (in my opinion!) and you and your children will enjoy them - we certainly do.

Fun, but not by Lauren Child.......2007-08-21

Charlie and Lola are fast becoming my son's and my favorite characters, but some of these books, Wobbly Tooth included, are not actually written by Lauren Child. The text is based on a script from the t.v. program, and it shows. The story is fun if you have seen the episode, but not a good read. If you want real Lauren Child books, buy Eat a Tomato or Princess and the Pea or her Herb books. That being said, this is honestly and completely a cute book for children who love Charlie and Lola.

We love Charlie and Lola.......2007-08-06

My kids and I love the TV show and the books are a really nice compliment to what they are already familiar with. I try to read in a accent (which sounds so much cooler) but I need some practice! Also this books sets the stage for my DD's first tooth to fall out!

oh, so much silly fun!.......2007-07-02

My daughter loves this book, and to read it over and over. Lola is so silly, yet dealing with issues that are real to a pre-schooler/kindergartner. My girlie can even do the British accent while reading it. What a laugh!

My toddler enjoys this book.......2007-03-09

Characters and plot are well thought out and depicted -- believable and positive images of young children/siblings. Drawings are simple and effective. This is one in a series of books that toddlers and grownups enjoy sharing with each other.

Book Description

Charlie really wants Lola to play cards with him, but she is far too extremely busy meeting the demands of her many (pretend) careers . . . one moment she is a chef with a stack of orders to fill, and the next she is a doctor with a waiting room full of sick patients. But when Lola is told to tidy their very messy room, she soon discovers that doing things with her brother is ever so much more fun than playing solo.

Customer Reviews:

good fun.......2007-07-12

another hit from Charlie and Lola! I only wish that there were more books (without the stickers) because my 2 year old is a bit young to fully appreciate the stickers. We read it like a regular book, and have taped the stickers in place (to keep her from curiously tearing them off again, which undoubtedly leaves her in tears). A good value for the money if you are looking for more Charlie and Lola to satisfy a little one who adores them, like mine does. This also accompanies one of the episodes we have on DVD, which is nice.

A simply perfect sticker book!.......2007-07-08

We just can't get enough of Charlie and Lola these days. This book and all the other in the series are really neat. Lots of stickers to decorate as you follow the story. All stickers are removeable. We do a page a night, and it's such a treat for my daughter before she goes to bed!

Highly recommend.

SO Cute!!.......2007-06-27

My daughter is obsessed with Charlie and Lola. This book is adorable and the fact that you can reuse the stickers is great. We take it to restaurants, waiting rooms, etc. and it provides endless entertainment.
