Customer Reviews

Lulu keeps busy; we are entertained

Contrary to one of the more unusual reviews featured for this book, "Lulu's Busy Day" is not a preachy, didactic etiquette manual for toddlers. Rather, it is simply a charming book showing a young girl conducting her normal daily activities, such as reading, eating, playing, bathing, and sleeping, all activities that a young child can relate to. The illustrations are feature large heads on a colorful background, and are appealing to young children. A good companion book is "Hello, Lulu."

Lulu's Busy Day

My daughter (18 months) requests I read this book to her at least 5 times a day. We originally got it at the library and kept renewing it, so I finally ordered our own. I know my daughter would be devistated if we returned it to the library! We also love Hello Lulu and Happy Birthday Lulu!

We Love Lulu

We have been reading 'Lulu's Busy Day' since my daughter, Ruby was18 month old & she has requested that we read it over & over again. She loves the pictures & the simple story which relates to her world. Whenever we come to the page where Lulu is swinging in the park, she puts her foot up & tries step into the picture so that she too can swing with Lulu. She does the same with the picture of Lulu taking a bath in 'Hello, Lulu'. Caroline Uff's amazing illustrations are so vibrant that my little girl thinks she can step into the pictures & be in Lulu's world. Ruby is 2 now & 'Lulu' is still a firm favorite & whenever we go to the park she tells me she wants to "swing up high like Lulu"!

Lulu's Busy Day

I personally know how hard it is to hold a 2 year old's attention. This book is something that can capture it. I originally discovered this book, as well as "Happy Birthday, Lulu" and "Hello, Lulu", in a group called Welcome Baby. This is a group that is part of our local hospital that gives out books to new parents, encouraging them to read to the youngest of children. They also have support groups that encourages reading to young children. This book keeps the kids entralled. My daughter was 6 months old when she first heard this book and crawled over to the book and just stared at the bright colorful pictures. The words are huge, as well as the pictures. The writing is simple. Caroline Uff really figured out how to capture the imaginations of the young. This book will not disappoint you or your children.

Sure to delight your toddler.

This is a simple story about daily activities that most toddlers can relate to--playing with toys, going to the park, etc. Each page contains one or two short declarative sentences. What makes this book so appealing is the vibrant artwork filled with big images that seems to jump from the page. This book is a favorite with our 2 toddlers and always seems to be one of the first off the shelf with visiting kids as well. We have both of Uff's "Lulu" books and they are both excellent and seem to be equally appealing to both girls and boys.
