Synopsis

From the inaugural winner of the Sebastian Walker Prize comes the story of Lulu - a little girl with too many toys! (Yes, there is such a thing!)

From the inaugural winner of the Sebastian Walker Prize, comes the warm, funny story of a little girl called Lulu who has too many toys! (Yes, there is such a thing.) Ever since Lulu was a little baby, she has had Jupiter - her lovely, cuddly, most-favourite-ever teddy bear. But with each new birthday ... she gets new toys. And with every passing Christmas ... more new toys. Very soon, Lulu's room becomes over-crowded with all kinds of mischievous toy soldiers and dolls, cowboys and doggies, monkeys and spaceships! She can barely fit in her own bed. What will Lulu do? Arresting colour and intricate comic detail abound in this picture book for modern times.

Reviews

Too Many Toys, reviewed by Class 6 children at Dringhouse Primary School: Ruby;I think this book is really good because children can connect to it, I have a lot of toys and I struggle to put them away! It would be a good book for encouraging children to give their books away. Annie: I think this is a good book because she has a problem (too many toys!) but by the end she has a solution. Faith: I think it's a good book because it's long and it's funny - like when she has her toys in the bath with her! Jamie: I like this book better than Lili because the pictures are colourful and well detailed. Matilda: I didn't really enjoy this book, I think this book is a little dull, it's a bit short so I think younger children would enjoy it more. Olivia:I think this book is a bit strange because you wouldn't usually bring all of your toys into the bath tub! This is a good book for making children realise the importance of have toys you like, not lots of toys! Lauren G: I think this book could encourage little children to share their toys, or give them away to charity. Lauren B: I think the pictures are very detailed. Niamh: I think it was a good book because it was really funny and interesting. I liked looking at the details and for all of the toys in the pictures.
