***Charlie and Lola are going to the store, and their mother says they
may choose one thing. "One thing to share?" Lola asks. No, one thing
each, explains Charlie, or two actual things between two. Lola is nine
minutes late getting ready, and on the way, there are ladybugs to count
and maybe a squillion leaves on a tree. With Lola hilariously bending
everyday numbers to her will and Charlie providing the (somewhat
exasperated) voice of reason, fans new and old will be hard-put to
resist these utterly appealing siblings.
