Lulu Helps in the Kitchen โ A Helping-at-Home Story | Shalvit Kids TV Storybook No. 66
**It's cooking day at Lulu's house โ and little hands are about to do BIG work!** ๐ โญ
Mama is making jollof rice and fruit salad, and Lulu wants to help. But before any cooking begins, there's a helper's FIRST job: **wash your hands!** Join Lulu, Mama, Daddy, Kiki, Bibo and Pip for a warm, counting-filled day in the kitchen, where Lulu learns the jobs that are truly HERS: washing six shiny tomatoes, tearing the lettuce, counting the peppers, stirring the cold fruit salad all by herself, carrying one thing at a time with two careful hands, and setting five places at the family table. And she learns the helper's most important lesson of all: the stove, the hot pots and the knives are **grown-up jobs โ always** โ and safe helpers watch those parts from a safe spot, with pride. When dinner is ready and the whole family says **"Thank you, LULU!"**, your child will feel exactly what Lulu feels: helping at home is real work to be proud of. And on every refrain page, the whole family chants: **"Little hands can help โ wash, count, carry, set!"** ๐ต
