This is a great story for this time of year as your kids are heading back to school. Whether your kids are "too absolutely" eager or "too absolutely" nervous about the first day of school, the brother and sister in this book capture each point of view perfectly. Be sure to remind your child to save a seat for their invisible friend at school.
And if you're looking to fill your kid's new book bag, I would recommend just about any book in this series. With Charlie and Lola, Lauren Child has created characters with personalities that are quirky but feel genuine. Charlie and Lola are just really cool kids. And they're certainly sporting some stylish threads on these pages. Apparently before she designed children's books, Lauren designed home interiors and home accessories, and you can see it reflected in the textiles and wallpaper patterns she mixes with her illustrations. Her books just look fantastic and very hip.
You can check out Charlie and Lola (with their little British accents) on TV weekdays on Disney at 10:30am.
Finally, a puppet show dance party for the rest of us! This lo-fi little gem of a program has a few screws loose and all the wires are showing, but there is a lovable cast of corny characters led by the hilariously daffy hand-puppet Rufus Leaking. And it plays hosts to lots of great rock music with performances and cameos by Fiery Furnaces, Ted Leo, Arcade Fire, The White Stripes, The Flaming Lips, George Clinton, Henry Rollins, Bright Eyes, Scissors Sisters, the Misfits, Weird War. It's basically nuts. And kids totally understand sarcasm - believe it!
Children's public access programming endures in the age of YouTube! They've created a great commercial for themselves here: Pancake Mountain. It should give you the basic idea.
