I think it would be fun to read this aloud - or at least a chapter to get students started on the series. Lulu is a great character - both obnoxious and strong.
This an amazing book!!! I read it my second graders every year! They love it! Even dressed up as lulu for Halloween !!.!!!.!best book
"Now, Lulu was an only child and her mum and her dad gave her everything she wanted. And guess what? Lulu wanted EVERYTHING. Tons of sweets. Tons of toys. Tons of watching tons of cartoons on TV."
I'm sick of the spoilt brat only child archetype, not borne out by research, not even a little bit. I expect more from an author who is also a psychoanalysis researcher.

This book was okay, the main seller for me the art of Lane Smith. The story could have used a little more....sparkle. Lulu is kind of grating and the author's insertion of herself into the story kept ruining the trance. I am always on the hunt for chapter books that I can read aloud in the first fifteen minutes of my older kids crafts (I have read a few chapters of My Weird School, Junie B, etc). This one will not work for that.
I think I would like to try Lulu Walks the Dogs, though. Perhaps it was just my mood when I read this.

This was a really fun story to read. The chapters were really short - made for a quick read. We loved hearing from the author through the story. The story had some laugh out loud quirky parts making this enjoyable for both parents and kids. The illustrations reminded me of our copy of My Father's Dragon.
Cute fantasy story about a spoiled little girl who learns to share, calm down, say please. My son really enjoyed this. Though, he was stuck lying down by me since he's sick...
Lulu has finally been told no by her parents that she cannot have a brontosaurus for a pet. So she sets off on her own to find one in the forest close by. Along the way she takes care of a snake, tiger, and a bear before being bested by the brontosaurus.
The illustrations really added to the story. It was funny and self-aware, which made me really like it.

Lulu is an absurd character in an absurd story that was a ton of fun. This tale about the importance of manners features a bear, a tiger, a snake, and, of course, a friendly "brontosaurus." The comic interjections of the author make this an especially fun and delightful book with accompanying delightful illustrations.
Bedtime stories! But honestly, I was unimpressed. I don't like to think every book needs a moral or to provide a lesson, but this was really silly in an bland, simplistic way.
Adorable pictures and story about a girl and her brontosaurus. A little to apology-y, but that's my only complaint.
This book has a very snarky narrator. Almost as snarky as the narrator in A Tale Dark and Grimm! Judith Viorst is clearly going for humor here, almost a little too much - it's like a stand up comedian who is trying too hard. But I still really enjoyed Lulu's adventure and I think this book would make a fantastic little drama lesson.
Lulu has a bad attitude, too. I think Viorst likes writing about kids who have a bad attitude.
Lane Smith's illustrations are, as always, stupendous.
