Will anything wake Lydia Lou? Now with a new cover, a sweet and funny rhyming story from the author of The Gruffalo.

Written by Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo, and illustrated by prize-winning Karen George, Wake Up Do, Lydia Lou! is a gentle and playful bedtime read - full of fun sounds to join in with time and time again.

One night, a little ghost glides into Lydia Lou’s room to scare her. But no matter how hard he tries, he just can’t wake her up.

From ghosts booing to cats mewing, will anything wake up Lydia Lou?
