A little ghost tries to give Lydia Lou a scare . . . but he can't even wake her up. So he fetches his noisy animal friends to help:
Mew! Moo! Too-whit too-whoo!
Wake up do, Lydia Lou!
Will anything ever wake her?
A gentle and playful bedtime read from Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo, and prize-winning illustrator, Karen George. Wake Up Do, Lydia Lou! is full of fun sounds which children will love to join in with time and time again.
Julia Donaldson is the outrageously talented, prize-winning author of the world's best-loved picture books, and was the 2011-2013 UK Children's Laureate. Her books include The Paper Dolls, the bestselling What the Ladybird Heard and the modern classic The Gruffalo, which has sold over 13.5 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over sixty languages.

Karen George has always loved drawing and painting and as a child it was her absolute favourite thing to do. A graduate of The Royal College of Art, Karen used to paint sets for films but turned her creative attentions to picture book illustration after becoming mum to her two young sons. In 2009 Karen won the inaugural Waterstones' Picture This competition and illustrated Julia Donaldson's story, Freddie and the Fairy. She now writes her own stories as well as illustrating, and lives in Bristol with her family and Dr Calamari the cat.
