In this follow up to Lulu Loves the Library, the young toddler's appetite for books is now such that it requires an extra visit to the library with her father each Saturday. Proud possessor of a library card, Lulu stocks up on new material to ensure a daily supply of bedtime stories for her parents to read to her. These fire her imagination to act out characters and situations, especially when playing with friends.. With its simple text and charming illustrations, the book is a further celebration of the power and shared joys of reading.” - Willesden Library
The irrepressible Lulu returns in another book-loving story, illustrated by the superb Rosalind Beardshaw. Wonderful characters – Dad as primary carer and a girl who switches effortlessly between fairy and DIY expert! - Letterbox Library
Anna McQuinn draws on her experiences of working with culturally diverse families in London and her own love of stories and books in a simple text that highlights the relationship between stories and child's imaginative play. Rosalind Beardshaw's warm illustrations take a close child's eye view of the way books can draw a child and carer or parent together. An accompanying CD contains the story retold in 20 different languages, and there are hints on using it in different situations. For librarians and Early Years staff working with families from a variety of backgrounds, this will be a welcome innovation... A simple idea that should make all the difference. - Ibby Link
