Bookroo's summary

Lulu is determined to earn money for a special purchase, but her dog-walking venture is anything but easy. With unruly dogs Brutus, Pookie, and Cordelia testing her patience, and the annoyingly perfect Fleischman offering unwanted help, Lulu's resolve is pushed to its limits. Can she navigate these challenges, make a friend, and achieve her goal? Discover the hilarity and heart in Lulu's quest for cash and camaraderie.

From the publisher

Feisty Lulu sets out to make some dough in this illustrated chapter book with “plenty of appeal” (Kirkus Reviews) from children’s book legends Judith Viorst and Lane Smith. The stubbornly hilarious Lulu has decided it’s time to buckle down and earn some cash. How else can she save up enough money to buy the very special thing that she is ALWAYS and FOREVER going to want? After some failed attempts at lucrative gigs (baking cookies, spying, reading to old people), dog walking seems like a sensible choice. But Brutus, Pookie, and Cordelia are not interested in making the job easy, and the infuriatingly helpful neighborhood goody-goody, Fleischman, has Lulu at the end of her rope. And with three wild dogs at the other end, Lulu’s patience is severely tested. Will she ever make a friend–or the money she needs? In this standalone sequel to Lulu and the Brontosaurus, children’s book legends Judith Viorst and Lane Smith once again prove that even the loudest, rudest, and most obstinate of girls can win us over.
