Lulu loves stories - each night she reads a different one, and next day they inspire her play. She becomes a fairy, a pilot, a farmer, a mummy, a tiger and a monster! Lulu Loves Stories enriches the imagination of the little readers and challenges gender steriotypes. The book comes with a free audio CD, the story read in English and 18 other languages.
The paintings are charming, Lulu is a delight and the story in many ways quite straightforward.. The addition is a real treasure - an audio CD which has an introduction followd by the story being read in English and then in 18 other languages.
