Lulu's family has one rule about pets: "The more the merrier! As long as Lulu cleans up after them!" This means that Lulu spends a lot of her time cleaning because her family already has a lot of pets: 2 guinea pigs, four rabbits, one parrot, one hamster, a lot of goldfish, and a dog named Sam. With all these animals, it's no surprise that when they go on vacation to the seaside and find a stray dog, Lulu wants to tame him. With the help of her best friend/cousin Mellie, Lulu tries her best to tame the Dog From the Sea and change everyone's mind that he's nothing but a nuisance and a trouble maker.Hilary McKay's second installment of the Lulu series, Lulu and the Dog from the Sea is perfect for fourth graders who love animals.
