I had read the previous 2 books in the 'Lulu' series and thoroughly enjoyed them. However, I can't decide if this third story is less enjoyable or if the change in illustrator is the source of my disappointment. As a first grade teacher, I would recommend the first two books, but probably not this one.
This is the third installment in the LuLu series. Lulu's parents are going out of town. She throws a fit expecting them to stay. But the parents have a secret weapon--the best babysitter in the whole world. The babysitter is highly trained and doesn't put up with any of LuLu's tricks. But when LuLu pulls out all the stops and causes a confrontation, the babysitter admits she is a trained spy. LuLu then trades obedience for spy training.This book is not written with the same tone as the first two which were appropriate for the recommended ages of grades 1-4. This book is more mature both in tone and in the illustrations. The illustrator is not the same as the first two. LuLu is meaner and more manipulative. The babysitter is rather mean and manipulative too. This book is advertized for grades 1-5. I believe that should be bumped up to grades 3-5. The riddles are far too advanced for 1st graders as is the subject matter.
My first grade class discovered LuLu and went wild over her antics. We read the first two books and everyone was anxious for the next one to come out. Sadly it didn't reach our room until the end of the school year. But firstie after firstie showed the book to their parents on the last day of school, and ask for it so they could read it over the summer. Now that shows their love and enjoyment of the character. Judith Viorst has a real winner on her hands. The illustrations are fun and fit the outrageous little girl who is a force to be reckoned with. The "Mysterious Mission" does not disappoint as LuLu meets her new baby sitter. Head strong LuLu finally meets her match and I loved every minute of it.
You can't help but love LULU. I first got this book because my mother's nick-name from my dad was LULU. We always laughed about it and then i found this funny, yet very entertaining book about LULU> Great read aloud for any age.
This is the least favorite of the Lulu series for my first and second grade classes. The Brontosaurus book is definitely what they adore. A suggestion: I censor a word or two here and there that a parent might find offensive for young children. Would like to see this author send Lulu to space since she proposed this possibility at the end of her second book. Could be very funny IMO.
Read it with my 8 and 5 year old daughters, and they both enjoyed it thoroughly. We have read both other books and this was up there with the first. Would recommend to any kids under 10, especially for the strong-willed but no always right female lead character.
Granddaughter loves the Lulu books----couldn't wait for the release of this newest. Hard to find books for a good reader; most are not challenging or too advanced in theme. Lulu books have the perfect mix of suspense and humor.
MY DAUGHTER LOVES THE LULU BOOKS! SHE WAS SO EXCITED WHEN IT ARRIVED, VERY FAST SHIPPING! SHE LOVES READING AND HAS ALL 3 LULU BOOKS, CANT WAIT FOR MORE!!
