Lulu wants something (we are not told what), and her parents are going to make her earn the money for it. They point out that that nice boy, Fleischman, does all sorts of odd jobs, so she can, too. She approaches Fleischman to tell him that she won't encroach on his jobs if he doesn't encroach on hers, and proceeds to round up jobs walking dogs. Her mother goes with her to the homes, where she meets three dogs who seem to like her, and she starts her business. Things don't go smoothly, and Fleis...

Not as great as Lulu and the Brontosaurus, but enjoyable. I just love spunky little Lulu. Reminds me so much of my daughter.Re-read it in 2021 not realizing I already read it. Lulu and the Brontosaurus is my go-to book to read aloud to an elementary school classroom if I have two or three substitute days in the class. So I read this book to a mixed primary grades class and they loved it! So when I would sub next they kept asking me if I would bring the next Lulu book in the series. I didn’t plan...

I absolutely love the Lulu books. They're so much fun to read. They're so comical and author often speaker directly to the reader to give explanations. In this book Lulu wants to earn some money and does so walking dogs in the neighborhood. Fleischman a neighbor kid offers to help her but she doesn't think she needs it and harsh as always she tries to blow him off. After 3 weeks of him putting up with her he finally decides enough is enough That's when she really realizes how valuable and useful...

I don't usually include early readers here, but I have to include Lulu! The boys and I have now read Lulu Walks the Dogs and Lulu and the Brontosaurus and we are huge fans. Lulu is a rude little girl who is trying to be good only because she wants money. Much to her annoyance, she is assisted in her dog walking attempts by a seemingly perfect boy named Fleischman

I like Lulu and I also don’t like everyone.

Love the message of tolerance, "What's more important than liking everybody is respecting each other." Told with humor, a great book about how we can all get along despite our different perspectives and personalities. It 's our differences that make us unique.

Lulu Walks the Dogs is the sequel to Lulu and the Brontosaurus but stands alone just fine. I have not had the chance to read Lulu and the Brontosaurus though that did not stop me from picking up Lulu Walks the Dogs which is its own amusing story that readers of all ages can appreciate.This is without a doubt, one of the most entertaining middle grade novels your child will read this year. Viorst provides laugh out loud humor, short chapters, and a firecracker character to keep us on our toes. Bu...

Lulu's adventures are much more pedestrian in this, her second book, but no less funny. Lulu may or may not have learned her lesson from the brontosaurus, as she gives her new money making venture a try.Judith Viorst's narrative voice in these Lulu books makes them deliciously easy to read aloud, and guarantees an appreciative listening audience (at least in my household.)

Lulu and the Brontosaurus was lightning in a bottle - a charming and slim little chapter book that makes a terrific read aloud for kids in grades 1-3. Lulu Walks the Dog tries hard to recapture the magic, but falls short. It is still cute, and kids who loved the first Lulu book will like this one too, but it isn't nearly as charming.

Except for Alexander's [bad] Day, I do not like Viorst. I feel like I should, but I don't. I can see that some folks would love this little brat as she very gradually learns to be less self-centered, and like the humor that's sassy, sarcastic, etc., but I don't. The best bit for me is the cover. Back to a LFL it goes!

4.5 ⭐This is the cutest 💕

Lulu is back! After her adventures in Lulu and the Brontosaurus with Mr. B., she has vowed not to be as big of a pain but only a sometimes pain. In this adventure Lulu wants a super special thing. Her parents tell her no over and over no matter what strategies Lulu uses to convince them. The finally tell her she will have to pay for it herself. So what is Lulu going to do? Walk dogs of course. Does Lulu know anything about dogs? Not a thing but how hard can it be? Lulu gets three dog walking job...

Lulu is back and this time she wants to buy a very special thing. But her parents said she would need to buy it herself. So Lulu decides that she will walk dogs, but Lulu is not very good with dogs. I can't wait to share the Lulu books with my little one.

First sentence: Lulu--remember Lulu?--used to always be a pig pain, till she met Mr. B, a lovely brontosaurus. Now she is just a sometimes pain, and not nearly as rude as before. Premise/plot: Lulu wants something, and she's determined to get it. Her parents tell her: if you want it, start earning money and save it. Her idea for how to make money quick? To start her own dog-walking business in the neighborhood. The problem? She doesn't know a thing about dogs, and, well, her dog-skills aren't th...

Lulu Walks the Dogs by Judith Viorst, illustrated by Lane Smith – loved this book as much as the first one (Lulu and the Brontosaurus) Enjoyed the instroduction of new characters, job, dogs, and how characters who aren’t friendly, at all, learn how to get along.

Great Book, Lulu is dog walking with people.

Move over Lucy Van Pelt, there's a new kid on the block and she's just as selfish and bratty as you. Meet Lulu. Big head, big mouth, big ideas. She doesn't run a psychiatry booth like Lucy of Peanuts fame, but she does run a dog walking business and I haven't loved a character this much since ...well, Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang. So many things reminded me of Peanuts from the pictures to the characters. The running gag on the poodle called, Pookie, doing "what she's supposed to do" to Lul...

I did not like this book because I do not like annoying people. I enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Fleischman helped Lulu. I also enjoyed this book because I liked the part when Fleischman untied Lulu from a tree.

Although the story is wildly improbable the child's viewpoint feels spot on, as I would expect from Viorst. The humor was beautifully enhanced in the audio version read by Michele Medlin.

This is the second collaboration between Judith Viorst and Lane Smith featuring a little girl named Lulu. Have I mentioned that I love Judith Viorst's books? I've read several of her children's books with our girls and I've read all of her books about the decades of a woman's life. She is such a witty and candid writer, and I love the way that she can really speak to people - young and old. As a parent, I really appreciate that she can tell an entertaining tale while still weaving a lesson about...
