L is for Luscious Lemons. LOOK! L is for Lazy Lions. L is for Lagos. L is for Love. A whole family set off to sell their luscious lemons at the market in Lagos. They leave before dawn with lamps in hand and loads on heads. They have quite an adventure ahead of them ... over logs, on a leaky lorry, through lightning, past lions and leopards until eventually reaching Lagos. The city is bustling and loud - there are lots of legs to get lost between! - but they can finally sell their luscious lemons. From the creators of B Is for Baby comes L Is for Love, a beautiful first book of words perfect for pre-schoolers learning their ABC. Children will love sounding out the words in this playful, adventurous and vibrantly illustrated story set in West Africa.
