Series: Booky Girl Lulu

Age range 5 to 9

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

Reviews for Lulu Loves the Library

"Recommended Title ~ Booktrust's Best Book Guide""An excellent preparatory picture book for those ready to make their first trip to the library... McQuinn and Beardshaw radiate enthusiasm for libraries in every bright and energetic page of this book, and expertly defuse a toddler's initial nervousness about a new experience. ; Annie Everall - The Bookseller Children's Buyer's Guide ""A joyful exploration of books, libraries and sharing stories as Lulu and her mum make their regular visit to the library. This should be available in every library and children's centre."" ; Books for Keeps No. 164 ""The message here is simple, direct, and a vitally important advocacy for libraries, the fun and enjoyment of a visit to the library being conveyed more in the bold, bright pictures painted from Lulu's viewpoint. All young children should have a weekly library experience just like Lulu... It's vital for all children to see characters portrayed who look similar to themselves: that Lulu, the central character in this story is black, is therefore particularly welcome"""
