Alex and Lulu: Two of a Kind by Lorena Siminovich



2009/32 pgs

About the Book: Alex and Lulu are best friends. They like a lot of the same things-swings at the park and jumping. But Alex and Lulu are also very different. Alex likes to build things and play outside, Lulu likes to paint pictures and play indoors. One day Alex begins to worry that the two are just too different to be friends. Can friendship overcome such differences?

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: Alex and Lulu is a wonderfully cute picture books perfect for the preschool crowd on up. As kids start to enter school and get a bit older, they discover that friends can like different things and many like Alex wonder if they can even stay friends. Alex and Lulu discover that friendship is at it's best when the friends are indeed different because they can share their hobbies with each other and have fun. A great message for kids that never feels heavy handed. I adored the retro feel of the illustrations. A fun read that's perfect to add to the list of ever growing books on friends.
