Funny and clever and poignant with illustrations reminiscent of Despicable Me!

This entertaining book demonstrates how difficult it can be for some children to share their life with a new baby brother or sister on the way, if they are used to being an only child. It also brings a perspective of how children might cope with a newborn which could be a reason why their behavior changes which can be positive or negative. It’s a great story to show children how to love and share even when it might be at times difficult to do so.

6yo daughter loved this. It was a fun read aloud as there is lots of humor, heavy on sarcasm.

This may be my favorite one of the series....

Not as good as the other Lulu books we’ve read, but another fun chance to explore the phenomenon of the naughty narrator. (My 7yo kept wanting to side with her “because she’s the main character,” even though she’s super rotten.)

Lulu is pretty dead set against a baby sister. I laughed out loud at a few of the moments in this quick read. Definitely a good one for a kid who might not be all that excited that their only child status is ending!

This was probably my least favorite of the series, but I still enjoyed it and my girls (4, 6, 8) loved it just like the others.
