In this multicultural version of the traditional song, children from cultures all over the world clap their hands, stomp their feet, pat their heads, and much more.

Lulu loves stories - each night, she reads a different one, and the next day they inspire her to play. She becomes a fairy, a pilot, a farmer, a mummy, a tiger and a monster!

Lulu really wants a cat. But mummy says that pets are a lot of work, so Lulu is eager to find out more. She reads all about cats and the library. She takes care of her stuffed toys and shows mummy how responsible she can be. When she finally gets to adopt a little cat of her own, Lulu knows just what to do

Age range 4 to 8 Lulu has her library card. She has her rucksack full of borrowed books. Most important of all, she has a big smile on her face because it's Tuesday and she and her Mummy are going to the library...Once there, she enjoys storytime and rhyme time, then she chooses new books to take home. Lulu's Mummy is a role model too -- choosing her own books to take out and reading to Lulu at bedtime -- they have a new story AND an old favourite to end the day. Lulu is beloved by parents of young children and librarians the world over - her enthusiasm for books and stories is wonderfully captured in the bright and endearing artwork which perfectly compliments the simple text. At a time when libraries are under threat, Lulu shows the impact that easy access to books and reading can have on a young child (and their family) in growing enthusiastic readers and learners: 'Lulu can convince us all that books and stories are absolutely the best thing in the world.' -- The Reading Zone

When the baby is finally here, Lola takes on the role of big sister—she helps her mommy and daddy around the house and tells Leo stories to cheer him up when he cries. Simple text and bright and charming illustrations celebrate family, reading, and what it means to be a big sister.

When Lulu reads Mary, Mary Quite Contrary in a book of garden poems, she wants to grow some flowers herself. Being Lulu, she has to do some research first. She gets gardening books, chooses the best flowers to grow, buys seeds and plants them. Then she has to wait...
