What a refreshing kids book! Lorelei for president!

A great story about being true to yourself. Lorelei is a lemming who doesn’t fit in with the herd and is ultimately faced with a big decision when they venture off without her. Would recommend!

This clever book drew my niece in and held her attention in a way that also made it a lot of fun for me, both in its content and absolute joy it brought to her. Now let's talk about the illustrations. Absolutely gorgeous! As an art geek myself the pages are a great way to inspire your kids to create art of their own! Definitely an awesome book for children who can’t read yet as there many colourful pictures and easy to understand for toddlers can entertain them for long time.

The vocabulary is quite simple for kids to understand. The story line is beautifully written and kids can easily get connected to it. Rather, I even enjoyed reading it. I highly recommend it for people who have kids but I think anyone would really enjoy it. This book needs to be on a bookshelf or coffee table in every home.

Such a great book. I am a parent and an educator and Lorelei teaches us all to be ourselves and not follow the pack. The artwork is adorable. I highly recommend this book!
