Review

Lulu has too many toys and with each Christmas it is getting more overwhelming because Lulu does not have the time to play with all the toys nor does she have room. Of all her toys her favorite is a fluffy and adorable bear named Jupiter. Lulu decides on her own to have a toy giveaway so she invites her friends and gives all her toys away except for Jupiter.

The illustrations are whimsically sweet and old- fashioned full of texture and detail done in ink and watercolor and rendered digitally. The print is large and easy to read.

Lulu explains to Jupiter that he is all she needs and the more she thinks about it the more she realizes,"there might be a tiny bit of space for just a few more toys next Christmas."

Jupiter's reply,"Uh-oh!"

Overall Book Score: very good
