It's ALIVE! I'm embracing this technological revolution and this is the latest incarnation - iBooks! And a witchy one at that!
Lula's Aunties want her to be a witch like them. But Lula hates to fly on brooms. She'd rather study cookbooks than spellbooks ... Lula dreams of being a famous chef!
When her Aunties insist she attempt one last potion, Lula secretly adds her cooking flair and in true witchy fashion ends up creating a brew that bewitches the entire town ... maybe her Aunties too!
This rhyming tale transcends the typical Halloween story to appeal to cooks and "foodies" throughout the year.
I had to try it - these new apps are too exciting! Are they books? Sort of, but they're really something new and different. For instance, they're GREAT for on the road when you can't have your books with you. And I love that we have another way to share our stories!
LULA'S BREW is available NOW as an iPhone/iPod Touch App OR and iPad App through:

My daughters both loved this story about Lula and her wanting to be a chef. The rhyming words and the pace of the story are fun to zip right along. My favorite things about Lula’s Brew is that I can put it on for my toddler and it can be read to her by the author and all she has to do is swipe her finger across when the words stop, something that she has gotten quite good at. I recommend checking out Lula’s Brew on iTunes today it is a cute story and children really enjoy it. - The Dirty Shirt
It is an adorable story and actually quite long so it is definitely worth the $1.99. The narrator has a lovely voice and she even changes her voice when speaking for the different characters. My absolute favorite part though is the colorful illustrations. They are so vivid and really make the story all the better. Even though Halloween is just a few days away, I think the app. is perfect for anytime and it is too cute to miss! - Mama'sMoneySavers.com
The illustrations in this app are gorgeous and it has the feel of a real picture book. ... I won’t spoil the ending of the story but I’ll tell you it’s a happy one and the message behind Lula’s Brew is great. - The iPhone Mom
Delightful in every way! My 4 year-old daughter and I both loved this charming picture book about an inventive young witch. It is narrated, written and illustrated by the enormously talented Elizabeth O. Dulemba.
This app is presents a sweet, engaging and funny tale with bright, full-of-heart illustrations and easily-maneuvered page turns. It is wonderful for occupying a little one, as I have. It is adorable – a treasure you’ll be glad you have many times over.
