Illustrated by
Marc Boutavant.
Human Lulu and her best friend Harry, a top hat–wearing spider, experience adventures as Lulu gets used to having a new baby brother. Lulu's situation is one to which many readers can relate. Her emotions run a realistic gamut, from jealousy to sadness to hopefulness, within the context of her quirky imaginary world (though, frustratingly, adults tend to solve her problems).
