Reach for this book when your child's big heart and love for nature occasionally clash with the structure and rules of school. It is a perfect choice for the young animal lover who sometimes struggles to keep their 'treasures' at home or who finds it hard to balance their personal passions with classroom expectations. Lulu is a delightful protagonist whose protective instincts lead her to rescue an abandoned duck egg and smuggle it into school, despite a strict 'no animals' rule from her teacher. The story gently explores themes of responsibility, secret-keeping, and the consequences of breaking rules, all while maintaining a warm and humorous tone. It offers a wonderful opportunity to discuss how to advocate for living things while still respecting the boundaries set by adults.
