Both of my kids have loved this book. I am not clear exactly what it is about it. As a parent, it's not a "wow" read, but the very basic text and simple, bright illustrations really appeal to little ones.

A great board book about families and love.

From my review on DiverseKidsBooks.org:

Hello, Lulu is a great book for beginner readers, but not necessarily the ideal book if you’re teaching your little one about diversity. The book introduces the reader to a little girl named Lulu and the important people and things in her life. The reader learns about Lulu and all of the members of her family. The board book itself features brightly colored backgrounds to help Lulu’s family members stand out. So while the illustrations visually cue us in on the family’s interracial composition, it’s never verbally explained. Thus, to bypass this subliminal message, you may want to point out the fact that Lulu’s parents are different races from the beginning. One other note: From learning about what Lulu’s favorite snacks are to how many pets Lulu has, your child is sure to notice a correlation or two in their own life (racial composition aside).

Lulu is such a cutie! The story is very simple: Lulu introduces some of the things and people she loves. This story can really be used in a variety of themes--me, myself, and I; shoes; toys; bubbles; family; girls; girls and boys, etc. I used it for a teddy bear and toy-themed program for Spanish story time since Lulu introduces her stuffed bear.

The book talks about a little girl named Lulu. It describes who her family is and what kind of stuff they have in the house. I did not like this book because it seemed pointless, but it would make a great beginner's book if I were to be a Pre-K Teacher

Just like the cover -- Cute, but not fantastic. Very young listeners would probably like this one, although Lulu herself is an older character.

very basic - just a step beyond a board book. Great for toddlers.
