Bringing outside animals into Lulu's class is verboten. But when Class Three witnesses two dogs destroy ducks' nests, Lulu keeps the remaining egg safe, and it begins to hatch--while at school. Animal-loving Lulu's dilemma rings true, and no-nonsense Mrs. Holiday's speech is humorously natural. Though all ends well in this fine beginning chapter book, gratifyingly the resolution is not pat.
