'Attractive, colourful illustrations and real laces, touch-feely panels and flaps-to-lift combine to make this sturdy book a real treat for babies, toddlers and their parents alike' Bookfest

As every parent will testify, toddlers are absolutely fascinated by shoes. Toddlers take shoes on and off, undo the Velcro tabs, tie up laces and fiddle with buckles. Leaving the house involves trying on every pair of shoes they possess before the right ones are chosen. All in all, there's no end to the hold shoes seem to have on toddlers - and it's not just the girls - the boys are just as bad!

Lulu's Shoes is therefore the answer to every parent's prayers. A delightful novelty book with guaranteed toddler appeal - put this book into their hands as you're getting them into the buggy and you might just get to Tesco's before lunchtime!

'Simply told, full of familiar activities with wonderful attention to detail ... Very pretty to look at too' The Children's Bookseller on Lulu books

As every parent knows, Christmas is a time of great excitement and here young readers can join Lulu as she prepares the tree, lays out her stocking, builds a snowman and, of course, experiences the thrill of opening her presents.

But which will Lulu's favourite present be in this glorious book, full of touch-and-feel, pull-tab and sensational surprise elements?
