Charlie and friend Marv are in search of strange and tricky creatures. And they would like to search without Lola bothering and interrupting. Luckily, Lola knows exactly how to catch strange and tricky creatures and enlists a little bit of help from her invisible friend, Soren Lorensen, and, of course, one or three drops of pink milk. “Child is as visually inventive and verbally dexterous as ever …classic.” – Guardian “The Child recipe at its fresh, playful best.” – Observer “A typically exuberant, imaginative whirl of a story.” – Angels and Urchins “Child is second to none when it comes to capturing the imagination of young children.” – Daily Express “A witty book that reminds us why we fell in love with Charlie and Lola in the first place.” – Junior
