Wake Up Do, Lydia Lou by Julia Donaldson (A Review & Give Away)

We love, like totally LOVE , books written by Julia Donaldson. We have quite a collection now and what I adore about them asides from the brilliant characters, illustrations and the clever stories is the fact that they tend to be written in rhyme. This makes it easy for Burton and even Jenson to 'read' the books to each other because they have memorised the story through the rhymes given on each page. 

A new story book has just been released by Julia Donaldson and as ever has some simple and easy to memorise rhyming prose. 


Wake Up Do, Lydia Lou is about a little girl asleep in bed with her teddy bear and a ghost is trying to wake her up so she will let out a scream. However, Lydia Lou is a deep sleeper and does not hear the ghost saying "boo" and "woooooo"so he enlists help from various animals, birds and even a baby to wake Lydia Lou up. 

Will the ghost wake her up from her dreams?????

Both boys enjoyed this story, but Burton in particular has taken a shine to it and after the first night of me reading it twice in a row to him and Jenson, he has been reading it ever since! I even caught him reading it with his night light one night after Jenson fell alseep and I could hear him talking to himself! As I mentioned, because it is simple rhymimg prose Burton is able to tell the story page by page and read it to Jenson and sometimes me. The three of us repeat the main part of the stort again and again and again!!!

    It has to be The Gruffalo! Although Miss C likes The Singing Mermaid. You can't go wrong with a Julia Donaldson book! z
