Harry and Lulu

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Martin Matje. The old kid-wants-a-dog plot line gets fresh treatment (if you can suspend disbelief) in this breezy, conversational narrative about a stubborn girl who isn't satisfied with the stuffed poodle her parents give her, even when he comes to life and starts talking to her one night. The pair, whimsically depicted in minimalist ink and watercolor illustrations, walk to Paris, save each other's lives, and become fast friends--all before sunrise.
