Ep 4. But That is My Book

Charlie and Lola season 1 episode 4, titled "But That is My Book," follows the adorable siblings as they engage in a classic sibling rivalry over a coveted book. Lola has her sight set on a book about Mermaids, and she has plans to read it all by herself. However, Charlie has the same book in mind, and he wants to read it too.

To resolve the issue, Charlie suggests that they share the book, with Lola reading a little bit, and then passing it to him until they finish it together. But Lola is not happy about that arrangement, primarily because she doesn’t want to share the book with anyone else. She asks Charlie to find another book to read, but Charlie is insistent on reading that specific book with his sister.

Unsurprisingly, Lola is not taking no for an answer. She tries to persuade Charlie to read a different book with her, which is not about mermaids, but Charlie is not one to be easily won over. The situation intensifies when Lola decides to hide the book, believing that this will stop Charlie from reading it, but that only made things worse.

As they go back and forth over the book, Lola comes up with a series of amusing excuses to keep the book for herself. She claims that her dog ate it, that it’s broken and needs fixing, and even that it has disappeared altogether. But Charlie knows that Lola has the book and isn’t fooled by any of her excuses.

In the midst of their argument, Charlie and Lola learn a valuable lesson about sharing and taking turns. After some persuasion and negotiations, Lola eventually agrees to share the book with Charlie. And in the end, the two siblings read the book together, talking about the mermaids' adventures they read.

"But That is My Book" is an entertaining episode that captures the typical sibling dynamic of sharing and taking turns. The duo's dialogue is engaging and whimsical, and their interactions are both heartwarming and amusing. The show is a great reflection of the everyday lives of siblings, the ups and downs of sharing, and the value of compromise.
