She burst on to the children`s book scene in 1999 with two picture books, I Want a Pet and Clarice Bean - That`s Me. Her fresh and funny books were an instant hit. In 2000 Lauren won the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal for I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato and in 2002 That Pesky Rat won the Gold Smarties Award. Lauren also published her first novel in the same year, Utterly Me, Clarice Bean, which was a runaway success and has been sold in ten foreign editions. A second novel, Clarice Bean Spells Trouble was published in 2004. nQuentin Blake selected Lauren for inclusion in the Magic Pencil Exhibition (British Library), a gathering of the very best of current British children`s illustrators, including Tony Ross, Angela Barrett and Raymond Briggs.nnCharlie and Lola's Things is a wonderful introduction to the stylish and funny world of this unstoppable pair.
Simple and beautifully produced, using artwork from the original and classic Charlie and Lola books.
