Oh Lulu!

I have been lucky enough to stumble across a great little book with a BIG little girl. Lulu and the Brontosauruses, by Judith Viorst, is one of the funniest book I have read in quite a while. Lulu is the definition of a spoiled brat. But she is also one tough little cookie. Although I started the book shocked at the behavior of little Lulu, I quickly grew to love her tenacious ways.

A few things, in addition to Lulu, make this a unique read. One of the things my students and I have loved about this story is how the writer, not Lulu, pauses to talk to the readers. It's surprising and fun to all of a sudden be in a conversation with the author. Another unusually cool part of this book is how the reader gets to choose the ending!  

As soon as I read part of this book to a class, I realized I had come across something I KNEW would be appreciated by my students. There is already a waiting list! I highly recommend this book to ALL students at Edison. Whatever your age, Lulu is sure to appeal to your funny bone!
