| The first book in the Charlie & Lola series "I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato" (2000) |
The award winning series (which made it into the Top 10 all-time winners of the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal and the eventually landing third place in a public vote) spawned the start of a successful line of works for Lauren including the brilliant Clarice Bean series, the Ruby Redfort series of books and also most recently a series of books illustrating the adventures of the classic Anne of Green Gables, another highly successful series.
Having young relatives I have come across these books, especially the Charlie & Lola series frequently and have always admired the illustrations inside. I love the use of simple block colours and sparse line which are simple yet effective.
