Lulu and the Brontosaurus by Judith Viorst; illustrated by Lane Smith

Lulu is a little girl that gets everything that she wants. If her parents tell her "no", she throws a fit until they say "yes". She is really not a very nice little girl. Lulu has a birthday coming up and when she tells her parents she wants a Brontosaurus for a pet, they tell her "no". She throws her fit and her parents still say "no!" After twelve days of screeching and throwing a fit Lulu's parents still say "no!" Lulu did not know what to do, but she knew she wanted a Brontosaurus for her birthday. So she packed her suitcase and went to find a Brontosaurus in the forest. As she is going deeper into the forest Lulu sings
"I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna gonna get.

A bronto-bronto-bronto
Brontosaurus for a pet."
After running into a snake, a tiger, and a big black bear in the forest and being very rude to them, Lulu finally finds her Brontosaurus. The Brontosaurus is not thrilled about being Lulu's pet, instead he wants Lulu to his pet! What will happen when the polite Brontosaurus tries to keep the impolite Lulu as a pet? Will Lulu give in, or throw a fit? This book has three endings, you get to pick the one that works for you. Enjoy this delightful easy chapter book.
