The Charlie and Lola series of books have been adapted by Tiger Aspect into an animated cartoon television series, using a collage style of animation which accurately captures the style of the original books. The cartoons are also notable for their use of children's voices, rather than adult voice actors, a technique pioneered by the Peanuts television specials. Both the books and the cartoon also mirror Peanuts' technique of never showing adults.
In the television series, Charlie is seven and Lola is four, and goes to school (her teacher is called Mrs. Hansen). In episodes of both the first and second series, Charlie celebrates his birthday (in "It's a Secret..." and "This Is Actually My Party"), although this doesn't seem to affect his age in other episodes...
