Summary

Feisty Lulu sets out to make some dough in this illustrated chapter book with âÈêplenty of appealâÈë (Kirkus Reviews) from childrenâÈçs book legends Judith Viorst and Lane Smith.

The stubbornly hilarious Lulu has decided itâÈçs time to buckle down and earn some cash. How else can she save up enough money to buy the very special thing that she is ALWAYS and FOREVER going to want? After some failed attempts at lucrative gigs (baking cookies, spying, reading to old people), dog walking seems like a sensible choice. But Brutus, Pookie, and Cordelia are not interested in making the job easy, and the infuriatingly helpful neighborhood goody-goody, Fleischman, has Lulu at the end of her rope. And with three wild dogs at the other end, LuluâÈçs patience is severely tested. Will she ever make a friendâÈ'or the money she needs?

In this standalone sequel to Lulu and the Brontosaurus, childrenâÈçs book legends Judith Viorst and Lane Smith once again prove that even the loudest, rudest, and most obstinate of girls can win us over.

Media reviews

âÈêIn this sequel to Lulu and the Brontosaurus (S & S, 2010), the incorrigible Lulu, oft indulged by her parents, is desperate for ways to make money to pay for a mysterious something that they absolutely cannot affordâÈöhilarious narration with much editorial wisecracking and frequent asides directed to readers. The story moves along quickly, variations in page layout and typeface add interest, and SmithâÈçs stylized black-and-white drawings are a big part of the fun. A perfect choice for transitional readers.âÈë
