"Being myself is the very best thing."

In Regular Lu, debut author Robin Nelson tells the whimsical story of a tiny mouse who yearns to command a greater lot in life. Through his imagination and sheer willpower, Lu transforms himself into the king of all the animals. While still only a three-inch high mouse, Lu feels respected and powerful. His love for the regal life is short lived, however, as each of the animals comes to him with their own requests for change. He slowly realizes that his life as a regular guy was, in fact, a good one.

This light-hearted tale brings each of the animals to life as they approach Lu one by one with their wishes. As the royal mouse listens to their heartfelt but selfish concerns, he shares an important life lesson with readers of all ages, "Being myself is the very best thing."

Regular Lu is a fun, easy-to-read rhyme that will appeal primarily to young readers. It is beautifully illustrated, keeping the reader involved with the turn of each page. Not only is it a delightful read, but it will also make a nice addition to any child's book collection.
