Talk about: Which book would you choose, and what might make you want to keep reading it?
Talk about: If you were absorbed in something enjoyable, what might help you when it was time to stop?
The repeated “Where is Lulu? ” prompts invite readers to scan each picture for clues, while the short dialogue makes the change from hiding to a library visit easy to follow.
Lulu protests that she does not want to go and clutches a book; her expression suggests frustration. The disagreement is brief and resolves into a shared outing.
What do you think Lulu is feeling when her mother says it is time to go, and what in the picture gives you that impression?
Pause at each “Where is Lulu? ” spread and let the reader search before turning the page. At the end, use the closing question to invite a guess from the picture.
