Children

Today is Charlie's birthday - he is very excited as he is having a special monster party! Lola is excited too and wants to help make it an extremely very happy birthday for Charlie. But Lola's having so much fun, she almost thinks it's her party - she opens all Charlie's birthday cards, makes his friends play musical statues and, worst of all, blows out all the candles on his cake! 'This is actually my party, not your party, Lola!' says Charlie. Lola tries to think of a way to make Charlie's party really special for him - so she makes special monster presents for all his friends - and everyone has a lovely time!
