Lulu's Perfect Hideout
Sometimes a new big sister needs her own hideout with no little kids allowed!
Lola loves playing with her little brother and her baby sister, but sometimes she needs a place for big girls only. When Lola decides to play by herself, she gathers her supplies and gets to work, pinning up a blanket and string lights to make her hiding place. The hideout is not complete without Lola's precious things: Mary and Dinah and her three favorite books. With Daddy's help, she makes a "Big Girls Only" sign at the door and invites her cousin Hani for a visit. After a sleepover in her hiding place, Lola is ready to re-emerge for family time. |
