Customer Reviews

Another terrific book

Caroline Uff's books are simply terrific. I am a librarian and often read Lulu to preschoolers. They love everything, from her name, to her family, to her sunshine smile and perfect braids. The artwork is vivacious and the text simple, but expressive. We can't wait for the next Lulu to be published.

The Perfect Childrens Book

Happy Birthday, Lulu! is a wonderful book for preschool through early school age children. From beginning to end it contains large, bold words to catch the young readers attention as well as those just beginning to recognize words. Also the positioning of the words at the top of the page makes it easy for the child to find. Another great aspect of this book is its vibrant colors. Uff uses many different bright shades to make her pictures stand out. When I first saw them I thought of a pack of crayons. Some light, some bright, but all of them bursting off the page. I thought it was clever how she used a double-page spread. Combined with her use of large pictures and sentimental meaning, I find it hard to look away or loose attention. This is a wonderful book that any preschooler would love to look at, read, or just point out the large array of colors and familiarity.

Perfect Birthday

Lulu is a charming, colourful character brought to life with vibrant illustrations. The pictures really appeal to my little girl, and she never tires of being read it.

another superb Lulu book

This is the third in the superb Lulu series from Caroline Uff. Each book is an idealised story of childhood.My child is completely captivated by the vibrant colours. Each page has lovely illustrations with a simple dialogue or narrative. The story is easy to follow. The characters are diverse and appealing. My little daughter is excited each time she sees the book, and is not content until she has been read it and shown the pictures. She has longer periods of concentration reading Lulu than she has with any of her other toys or books.I am now a fan of Caroline Uff's books, and can sincerely recommend her books to any parent.
