I read this book to a 3-year old boy while babysitting. We picked it out because of the cute cover. The illustrations are beautiful and very cute. I love dogs and know from experience small dogs often think they are the largest dog in the park. We both enjoyed and loved the funny story about Lulu who insists she really is a rhinoceros. I'd definitely recommend this to read to small children.
I received this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.

'Lulu Is a Rhinoceros' by Jason Flom with illustrations by Allison Flom is a book about a cute dog with big dreams.
Lulu looks like a bulldog, but that's not what Lulu sees in the mirror. In Lulu's mind, she is a rhinoceros. Lulu decides that if she were to look more like a rhinoceros that might help. Lulu needs a horn! So Lulu sets about to add various things to her head to look more like her dream.
The book is a silly story with cute pictures. No one is fooled by Lulu thinking she is a rhinoceros, but the lengths she goes to are sure to bring on the giggles with young readers.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Wicked Cow Studios, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

“Lulu is a Rhinoceros” reminded me of the book “Quackers” by Liz Wong. Both have good messages about acceptance and kindness.

A peculiar and adorable bulldog thinks she is a rhinoceros and doesn't understand why everyone thinks she is a dog.

Two stars for being cute and trying, but it's really kind of a fail. Reads like it should be a book about being transgender but it really falls short of that in execution.

This is a cute, silly story of a dog who thinks she is a rhino, even though the world sees her as a bull dog.
So, she sets out to get a horn, because, of course, that is all she is missing. If the world saw she had a horn, they would see she is a rhino. The picture below is of a pigeon taking off with her horn, which she says is just a banana.
Although one could read this as a tale of a transgender...trans-species dog, I think it might just be about a dog that wants to be a rhino.
Fun, fast paced, and wonderful illustrations. Kids should enjoy falling in love with Lulu and her quest to be who she feels she is.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

All questions answered by my 4-year-old
Do you like this book?
Yes! I love doggies and she wasn't a rhino, but she was cute!
What's your favorite part of the book?
When she puts a banana on her head! And an ice cream cone! That's just silly, and she's not a rhino, she's a doggie!
What do you think of the cover?
It has a doggie and a rhino! And I like the letters.
Do you want me to read it again?
Yeah!
This is such a cute book! Lulu is a pug who believes with everything that she is, that she's a rhinoceros! She says even though she's soft and fluffy on the outside, on the inside she is a rhino. And she believes that if only she had a horn then everyone will see that she's a rhino! So she tries to find horn-shaped objects to put on her head, such as a traffic cone, ice cream cone, and even a banana peel!
This is a great book that teaches kids that if they believe enough, no matter what anyone else says, they can be whoever and whatever they want to be.
Lulu is a Rhinoceros had me cracking up, and saying "aw!" It had such great artwork and great writing, and like I said, it's a great story.

Lulu is a bulldog on the outside
But a rhino on the inside.
"Believe in yourself."
Lulu strongly believes she is a rhinoceros from the inside, and it does not matter what anyone else sees it themselves. Even when many make fun or ridicule, Lulu continues to believe that she can be whatever she want to be.
This beautifully illustrated book is dedicated to the critically endangered rhinoceros.
