The irrepressible Lulu returns in another book-loving story, superbly illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw. There is plenty here - Dad as primary carer and a girl who can switch between fairy and DIY expert effortlessly! LETTERBOX LIBRARY Librarians and teachers are all too aware of the importance of having multicultural faces in books unfortunately, many of these have been somewhat dull. With the wonderful Lulu books, we have characters so exuberantly and joyously portrayed in words and pictures that diversity is not what one first notices. THE READING ZONE The paintings are charming, Lulu is a delight... an audio CD which has an introduction followed by the story being read in English and then in each of 18 other languages. As a family sharing or as a teaching or library activity resource, this is both delicious and full of wonderful possibilities.' SCHOOL LIBRARIAN
