I liked the funny role reversal in the Wednesday book. I think it's charming and unique. As a teacher, I liked that it was a short and quick story that I'd be happy to follow up with another one. I especially liked how the illustrations in the
story features children of different racial/ ethnic backgrounds. I think that representation is so important in children's books. Great work! Chloe S.
Emma and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE each of the books — Monday to Friday!! Emma has already asked me many times if there will be a book about ‘the weekend’!!!
She remembers the details you secretly told her to look out for in each book. In the book ‘Friday’, she told me to watch out for something ‘pink and purple’. She was so happy to see the cake at the end of the story!!
I enjoy reading the books just as much as Emma enjoys going on the adventures with Lulu and Maxwell! Just when we think one day (one book) is our favourite story — we are amazed at the next one! Emma agrees, we can’t simply choose one as our favourite, each story is amazing! The stories are fun and silly, and full of adventure! Often as I’m reading the story Emma will ask, "what’s that?" (when she hears a new phrase like ‘inner space’) then the story seamlessly fulfils her curiosities. We love the characters and adventures, and love watching the stories unfold with the beautiful city of Toronto as the home base and background. It makes Emma feel so proud when she sees familiar landscapes in the illustrations! The artwork on each page is simply amazing and beautiful! We can’t get through one book without giggling and smiling a few times.
Thank you for creating such amazing characters (including Lulu’s doggie friends) and fun adventures that we can get lost in Toronto with. We are so happy to have added these books to our collection and we will enjoy reading them over and over again for years to come. I look forward to the day Emma can proudly read these stores to me and her younger cousins.
With much appreciation,
Lucy
This is my granddaughters first “big girl” book and it’s the perfect one to capture her attention with beautiful illustrations and endearing writing. Wednesday seems to be her favourite day of the week. Excellent use of Toronto landmark photographs as the backdrop for the motley crew of puppies on their adventures. The quality of this full collection is superior with thick brightly saturated illustration. The daily writing is consistent and familiar to children as they like to repeat one liners. This is great story telling and entertaining for both adults and children. Congratulations and thank you for bringing this lovely friendship into our home.

As proud Canadians, we strive to create the best
Canadian children's book series, and that is why our books
are imagined, written, illustrated, edited, and printed in Ontario.
They like us, they REALLY like us!
On Monday, Lulu and Maxwell find themselves swimming with sharks and other comical creatures at the aquarium.
Tuesday’s adventure features Lulu, Maxwell, and her human friends visiting the Really Old Stuff museum.
A slight misunderstanding on Wednesday has Maxwell, Lulu, and her dog friends performing at a huge rock concert on Yonge St.
A rainy Thursday takes Lulu and Maxwell on an international adventure, where they meet some bouncy new friends.
Friday’s adventure transports Lulu and Maxwell to the Imagine Nation and it's really out of this world.
Things aren't always what they seem in these silly tales of friendship and adventure.
When Lulu's mummy leaves for work every day, she assumes Lulu will spend the day curled up sleeping. What else could she possibly do? After all, Lulu is a dog, and dogs do sleep all day... Don't they? Not Lulu.
