Amazon Reader - (Top Contributor: Children's Books) May 9, 2020 - Lulu and Lainey ... a French Yarn
This is a charming story for primary grade readers. Lulu loves to knit with her grandmother. They live in Paris.
This illustrated book is a charming story of love, friendship, and family. It is a perfect choice as a read-aloud or beginning reader. Recommended for grades preschool through grade two.

The illustrations are simple yet flowing, giving a good picture of what the words say; the outside scenes were particularly impressionistic and slightly whimsical. I like how the book indirectly teaches patience and hope. How Lulu got Lainey back actually made me laugh out loud, which is rare in a children's book for this age. If there is a child in your life who you hope to get interested in knitting or other fiber arts, this might be a very sweet little introduction.

This is a cute story, well-written and easy to follow, and my four year old daughter always asks to read it again. It includes time with Grandma, playing outside, a little bit of bird life, a little bit of sadness, and a happy ending.

An animal story that is mostly 🐐🐐and a 🐑. The artwork is beautiful! My favorite character is Lulu because she loves her 🐑! My grandma Lainey and I think this story was awesome! My name is (removed). I love reading! I think it's funny that the sheep's name is Lainey!

Amazon Reader - Another adventure with Lulu and Lainey - November 17, 2017
Lulu and Lainey at the Farm is our newest family-favorite bedtime book as we cuddle up on the sofa and discover Lulu's latest adventure at her grandparents's farm. What a delight to meet Lainey, the sheep, and see life on the farm in the French countryside. Lulu's love of knitting comes full circle in this sweet storytelling of family, pastime, and nurture. Reading this makes me wants to knit a sweater for my shih-tzu! Looking forward to Lainey and Lulu's next adventure!
Old Mate Media - Lulu and Lainey ... a French Yarn
As soon as I saw the cover for Lulu and Lainey … a French Yarn, I knew I was in for a treat. Then I saw the opening dedication. “For every child who has lost a favourite object. May it always find its way back home…” It sums up the heart of this sweet tale.

Brought me back to Paris with sweet illustrations and a simple, but effective plot. Loved reading it with my daughter.
Old Mate Media - Lulu and Lainey ... the Lucky Day
There’s something truly romantic about this series. I just love the relationship between the story and the art. Lulu and Lainey … The Lucky Day wisely opens with a full page illustration that showcases Russita’s immense talent and her take on suburban Paris.
