NOTES FROM THE PUBLISHER

When Lulu Went to the Zoo Overview

When little Lulu gets an idea, watch out!

Little four-year-old Lulu became very sad after visiting the animals living in a zoo.

After a chat with all the animals living at the zoo, she sneaks all of the animals into her house, where “there’s room for you all, from elephant to mouse.”

Or so she thinks until she tries to fit a bear into the bathtub!

Before the zookeepers can bring the animals back to the zoo, though, bold Lulu dreams up a new place for her animal friends to live.

And four-year-olds can be very, very persuasive.

Children will love this rollicking, read-aloud tale matched by hilarious illustrations.

For children aged  5 – 6 years.

Editorial Reviews

“Four-year-old Lulu becomes sad when visiting the zoo: “The tigers were crying really big tears/ and the life had gone out of the llamas’ ears.” Conversations with the animals confirm her belief that they don’t belong in cages; penguins dream of dancing on icebergs and a flamingo longs to fly in the sky.” – Publishers Weekly.
