Book Overview
Nighttime is the best time for stories. And Lulu is the best storyteller. She knows about the three cross-eyed dogs at a fancy restaurant, about blue and green mountains where fish fly, about the family party where Maishel Shmelkin forgot to wear his pants, and of course about the noodle woman the pointy red nose. The stories, told by a sister to her little brother, are short and sweet and make you remember things and forget things. Maira Kalman paints a wondrous and humor-filled world in a childs-eye view. It is full of wild invention, people familiar and outlandish, bittersweet moments and flights of fancy.

The book that introduced Max
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is a mind-expanding book. It's quirky (like all of Kalman's books), beautifully illustrated (with real art), and it introduces the character Max the blue dog who stars in some of her later books. It looks like a kids book, but really offers something for all who are open to it. Kids can relate to LuLu and her brother, and adults can better relate to kids when they remember their own dreams and fantasies and (if they're lucky) the stories their siblings told to get them to go to sleep. A great book!
