All because of baby Willy, Lulu had to go to the museum. She didn't want to see the dinosaur or those pictures - she wanted to play in the snow. So she sat on a bench and picked her nose. 'That's filthy! Use your hanky not your sleeve!' said a small voice behind her. Before Lulu knew it, she was swept off by two cherubs and taken on a wonderful flying tour of the museum, where she and her new friends rolled in the snow and splashed in the sea, growled at a tiger and even fed crisps to a king's horse!

"More magical games in paintings for a grumpy girl" (Amanda Craig The Times 20050917)
From the Back Cover
Lulu wants to play in the snow, but the snow is too cold for baby Willy. She does not want to go to the boring old museum to see the dinosaurs or the pictures. So she plonks herself on a bench and picks her nose. 'That's filthy! Use your hanky not your sleeve!' says a small voice behind her, and before she knows it Lulu is being swept off into the wonderful secret world of the museum.
Absolutely enchanting! Since discovering this book a couple of years ago I've run out of nephews, nieces and godchildren to send it to! Lulu's exploits with her cherub friends in the museum are educational and enchanting, bringing art to life for those younger folk who may find museums and art galleries stuffy and boring. As ever Posy Simmonds illustrations are perfect (can't really use enchanting again!).
My children loved this book and I loved reading it to them. A girl gets bored with her baby brother and wanders off in a museum where she has an adventure with a cherub (statue) and together they go into the pictures in the museum and have mini adventures before being reunited with a relieved daddy and a museum attendant. Clever writing, great pictures and an innovative story. even if second hand still worth getting
This story and picture book can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. A magical storyline, some subtle humour, beautiful illustrations and I'm-SURE-there's-a-message-for-kids-here-somewhere ("Don't pick your nose!", "Use your hanky... Not your sleeve!" and "Don't stand on the seat!") make for a wonderful read.
