description: An illustrated chapter book from industry legends Judith Viorst and Lane Smith! I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna gonna get a bronto-bronto-bronto-bronto-saurus for a pet!Lulu is so accustomed to getting what she wants that when her parents deny her birthday request for a brontosaurus she throws a four-day temper tantrum and then storms off into the forest in search of the dinosaur she clearly deserves. Lulu isn't particularly impressed with the snake tiger and bear she encounters but then she finds him--a beautiful long-necked graceful brontosaurus. Mr. B completely agrees with Lulu that having a pet would be a wonderful thing and Lulu thinks she's gotten her birthday wish at last. Until she realizes that Mr. Brontosaurus thinks that she would make an ideal pet for him!How will Lulu ever get out of this sticky situation without throwing a fit (Mr. B does not respond well to those) or using force (Mr. B is much too tall to bonk on the head with her suitcase) or smushing her pickle sandwich? Beloved children's author Judith Viorst and Caldecott-winning illustrator Lane Smith offer a fresh and funny tale with several surprise endings!
