Booky Girl Lulu
Lulu is one of the busiest and most positive little girls in picture books and her every adventure is prompted by a story. Then she’s off... to the library to research, to the dressing-up box to play, to read to her new baby brother, to plant flowers or to show her mother she’s responsible enough to look after a cat. Even though she’s excited she is prepared for her first day at school. She tries new things with her cousin on her first sleepover...
