is practically bringing up his sister alone? where are the parents?

and if you ask me, pink milk sounds full of sugar and e numbers and not suitable for a bedtime drink!

Clarice Bean's parents are there in an absent minded way but I do worry about her living in a house where the bathroom floor has fallen into the kitchen!

LOL!

The adults in Charlie and Lola are ever present, but deliberately never featured (I read an interview with Lauren Child and she said it is a conscious thing so the children only ever read about the children in the stories).

It's not just the pink milk, either. Lola likes 'yummy biscuits, sausagey rolls and sandwiches made from spready cheese'. Quick! Someone call the MN food police!

Unless, of course they are home made, and the spready cheese is, in fact, vintage camembert spread upon organic wholemeal and accompanied by a soupcon of redcurrant jelly.
