Lulu and the Brontosaurus

Judith Viorst (2010), 113 pages
Illustrated by Lane Smith
Audience: 1st Grade - 3rd Grade
Category: Fiction
Lulu always gets her way, or she throws a wild, screeching tantrum. When her parents say no to Lulu's birthday request for a brontosaurus, and won't cave in to Lulu's demand (no matter how much she screeches), Lulu runs away. She successfully navigates the dangers of the forest with her unique brand of creative brattiness, but when the brontosaurus she finds is determined to make Lulu his own pet, how will she escape a creature who is every bit as stubborn as she is? The author provides us with alternate endings in case we're not pleased with the first one. The beautiful design and illustrations make this book a pleasure to view.
