Lulu is one seriously sleepy pig. But every time she snuggles in

outside her window. Whooooo ... Cooooo ... Lulu must find a way
to get her wide-awake pals to pipe down. But as her frustration
grows, will she be able to ask them nicely?

and heaps of humor, this book is a delightful read-aloud that's

Chicago Tribune,

"Deborah Ruddell and Robin Luebs have succeeded on all counts.
Lulu is a pig of great personality ... and she's given wildly
expressive eyes, with such a simple line or dot, to express her
irritation when her friends decide to tease her with some
nighttime noises. Above all, however, she's a friend who can get
beyond her friends' bad behavior. Everyone needs a Lulu." |
