Lulu & The Study Crew and Lulu & The Big Bad Boy are the 1st and 2nd books of the Lulu's Colouring Story Book Series. It centers around 2 little Nigerian school girls, Lulu and her best friend Ify. These very easy to read books are packed with just 1 simple lesson to learn. It's DOUBLE the fun for kids cause not only can the kids get to interpret the books by colouring in the pictures and giving each book their own personal "look and feel"; the entire book rhymes!
Lulu & The Study Crew teaches kids to always bring out their very best in everything they do while Lulu & The Big Bad Boy centers on the pressures and effects of peer pressure. Each book contains a simple note to ALL kids as well as a note to ALL Parents & Guardians giving a brief introduction of what the book is about and it's intent. At the end of each story is another section called "Lulu & Crew Says..." This is a collection of all the very important quotes or messages within the book that each kid should try to memorize and live by.
Written by Cynthia Osunwoke, owner of an upcoming and very promising Children's Event Company called Lulu's Playpen Services, is targeted at children from the ages of 2-8 years. They are currently available as ebooks which can be printed out for kids to colour in. Hard copy is on demand.

ReplyDelete"The stories are adorable and appropriate for little kids. The simple lessons are also wonderful and I would highly recommend it to parents. Now - to the writing. For the most part, you've done a great job. There are though sentences that feel forced and others with poor rhymes.(Perhaps some of the rhyming issues stem from different pronunciation of words in Nigeria and the United States, I am not sure.. and correct me if that is the case.)
I want to say again... the stories are adorable as are the illustrations and the concepts. The lesson taught as well."
Here's another review from Gail Truax, the author of Greymalkin and the Baby Dragon:
ReplyDelete"I love the “Nigerian” names…they make the books more genuine.
The simplicity of the stories is exactly what children need. Bullies do often seem “glamorous” because they do not get bullied. The fact that the children recognized what was happening and were willing to forgive Kola also teaches children to give second chances to friends.
Also, I’ve been a substitute teacher and I can tell you that if children would apply themselves to learning the way they do to sports, our schools would be in better shape so I really like this story for the learning ethic it displays. Also, all the children joined together to help Ify improve her grades….that’s friendship!"
