![]() ![]() ** Note about the reading level: “Lulu and the Brontosaurus” is being called a first chapter book. This book has become a real favorite in our house. I love the parents who forget about Lulu while she is gone, I love the imperiousness of the Brontosaurus, I love the way Viorst speaks to the reader directly in asides, and I LOVE the illustrations. And let the fun begin! Lulu’s brontosaurus is thrilled to meet Lulu he has always wanted a little girl for a pet! With the tables turned, Lulu wakes up and realizes the error of her ways, hilariously. While Lulu’s parents are having a spot of tea, Lulu hilariously fights off a snake, a bear and a tiger in her quest for her pet. While Lulu searches for her dinosaur, encountering all manner of dangers, her parents take a breather from their little hellion, because all that screeching can get tiring. Lulu storms off into the forest to get one herself and the adventure begins. But they put their collective foot down at the idea of a brontosaurus. And Lulu’s parents are at a loss, what with Lulu’s screeching tantrums “till the light bulb’s burst,” they just don’t know what to do. ![]() ![]() Lulu is a little terror of a preschooler who wants a brontosaurus for her birthday.
