I think Lulu and her dog Bingo are my new favorite superheroes. This is a brand new, adorable story about being the youngest and the smallest in the family but finding all the really big things you can do. I hope this husband-and-wife team write more Lulu adventures. As a little sister myself, I think the illustrations perfectly capture that feeling of being small and sometimes having to make your own fun (my mother’s favorite answer when asked what we’re going to do today: “I am not the cruise director!”). Lulu’s dog Bingo mirrors her moods wonderfully, and his ears are characters all their own.
