Lulu read during Lah-Lah’s Storytime - 24 July 2020
This week on Storytime, Lah-Lah reads Lulu - a delightful story of a young polar bear with stars in her eyes.
Lulu loves to sing, dance and put on a show. She dreams of more than performing on the ice, but sadly her friends don’t share in her dream. Will Lulu listen to her heart or her friends?
