When Lola's favorite book is not on the library's shelf, her older brother, Charlie, tries to find another book she will enjoy.

When Lola goes ice skating with her friend Morten, she absolutely must have her own skates, but her brother Charlie reminds her of all the other things sitting in the closet that she "absolutely" had to have.

Charlie has a little sister, Lola. Lola has the hiccups. They just won't go away. But Lola and Lotta have to perform at the school concert. Lola says, "How am I going to sing my song if I'm hiccuping all the time?" And Charlie says, "Hmm ... I've got an idea!"

Lola is going to the optician. She has decided that she absolutely "must" have glasses. Charlie says, You'll only get glasses if you really, really need them.
