We often quote Lola at our house.  Do you love Charlie and Lola as much as I do?  In case you haven't come across Charlie and Lola before, it is a wonderful series of stories by Lauren Child that was later made into a TV show.  This is TV you won't mind your kids watching; Charlie is a kind and patient older brother to his very energetic and imaginative little sister, Lola.  I adore this series because of the lovely relationship between these siblings.  The stories are very funny for all ages and the illustrations (and animation) are a fantastic mix of simple drawings and collage.

The first book, that won the Kate Greenaway Medal in the UK in 2000, is called I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato.  Find it in paperback here.  And I have found that public libraries often have a great selection of Charlie and Lola DVDs to check out.  The video versions have carried us successfully through many long road trips...
