Remember Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? That is an excellent book. My kids love it. And they love the other books in the series as well. (Though I just found out there is a 4th book about Alexander that came out in 2014; I’ve already put it on hold at the library.)
Well, the author of the Alexander books, Judith Viorst, has come up with another great series. This time it’s about a girl named Lulu and the books are slightly longer. Lulu wanders out into the forest and ends up finding a Brontosaurus, and the story that unfolds is quite entertaining.
I originally read this to my 6 year old son, who couldn’t wait to read it every night. So then I decided that it’d probably be a good chapter book for my 4 year old daughter to listen to as well. She still needs some pictures when we read and she really enjoyed it too.
I read Lulu and the Brontosaurus to them back in the fall, and then recently checked it out again so I could take a picture of it and recommend it. When Jane saw it today she told me that she wants to read it again.
So I’ll be reading this book for the 3rd time this week. You should check it out.
(We have read the other 2 Lulu books in the series and I don’t think they’re as good as this first one.)
