Charlie and Lola by Lauren Child

The kids TV show is a heartwarming show of two adorable sweetlings who are brother and sister, if you had kids you'd want them to be like Charlie and Lola. Charlie's the eldest a protective brother who narrates the story and Lola is the silly one who is learning about the universe and charlie educates here. Often they have adventures as they learn. Lola reminds me of little Karen out of Outnumbered. The animation matches the essence of the show as it is like paper cut out as all the people and images have white lines around them to create the effect that they have been cut out of paper. I also really like how the textures are all crayon like so it is similar to being immersed into a child's world. Successful because all these characteristics work together to emphasise Lola's gentle humour in each short snapshot of Charlie and Lola's life.

Created by illustrator and Writer Lauren Child her latest works for Liberty (Fabric patterns) and latest book (Maude - illustrations painted onto plywood to reveal texture) all play with the touchy feely sense and have this running theme throughout. Her website also has the same charm as Charlie and Lola the TV show.
