Lulu always gets what she wants. Until now. When she asks for a pet brontosaurus as her birthday present, for the first time ever her parents say "No!" and no amount of fit-throwing can change their minds. Taking matters into her own hands, Lulu storms off into the forest. After a few fierce encounters with meddlesome creatures, she finally finds him - a beautiful, long-necked, graceful brontosaurus. Mr. B. completely agrees that having a pet would be a wonderful thing, but he thinks she would be a perfect pet for him! Could Lulu have met her match?

Beloved children's author Judith Viorst and Caldecott-winning illustrator Lane Smith offer an irresistibly fresh and funny story with an ending full of surprises!
