Lulu Is A Rhnoceros is just chock full of the cutest little illustrations by Sophie Corrigan. There's a bit of humour to be found within these pages, but I wouldn't have minded a bit more -- I enjoy some silliness in my picture books. Overall, though, Jason Flom and Allison Flom have written a fine little story about mind over matter and being true to your insides no matter what your outsides appear to be.

Thank you to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for providing me with a free electronic ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

“Lulu is a Rhinoceros” reminded me of the book “Quackers” by Liz Wong. Both have good messages about acceptance and kindness.

A bulldog tries to convince everyone that she’s actually a rhinoceros.
Nice rhyme of “Eek!” and “freak.”
Now we now we can get brain freeze by putting the ice cream on our nose too.
This book gives yet another reason to hate pigeons. Other birds are cool, though, especially when they remove insects from your not-so-tough hide. (Not referring to the reader, of course; your skin looks silky-smooth.)
Turns out the secret is in being correctly geographically located.
Sometimes the artwork looks like stained glass, other times crayon. It’s an interesting mix.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

Lulu Is A Rhinoceros is a lovely children's story about being who you are, no matter what other people say! The illustrations were really beautiful, although I did feel like the story was a little too simple for middle aged children to enjoy. This one could still be a winner with the younger ones though.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

This is a cute little children's book about Lulu the bulldog who thinks she is rhinoceros (or is Lulu the rhinoceros who looks like a bulldog?). I do like how it tries to teach about diversity and how someone could look different than the one they feel. However, I think it falls short in being an allegory for transgender persons.

Lulu the bulldog thinks she's a rhinoceros, and she is determined to prove it to everyone she meets. Endearing illustrations and a creative premise carry this story, despite some awkward writing that keeps the narrative from flowing smoothly and a slightly distracting font. However, this could be an good story for a lesson on following one's heart, persevering, and staying true to your beliefs, as well as on the idea of passing judgment on someone before you know them. Good discussions to be had here!

So anyone who knows me or follows my blog will immediately know why I had to pick up "Lulu is a Rhinoceros." The cover alone sealed the deal. In this children's book, Lulu, who is clearly a bulldog, goes on a quest to find her horn. Because see in her eyes, that's all she needs to prove to everyone she is clearly a rhinoceros.

The artwork in this book is super cute and while done in muted shades, I still think any young child would be attracted to it. Plus, Lulu is super cute and in the end, there is a wonderful moral to this story. If you have young children, definitely grab this book for them. Who knows, you might even enjoy it too!

First let me thank Netgalley for an advanced digital copy. I thought the illustrations in this book was wonderful and so cute. A very simple story line about a dog who believes he is a rhinoceros. Amazing book for little kids not only teaching them about finding themselves but also how to overcome negativity as they pursue their goals in life. I would definitely recommend this book to kids of all ages.

People see Lulu as a bulldog. But deep down inside, Lulu knows she is different. Lulu is a rhinoceros! This story is a delightful allegory for people who do not identify with what their appearance dictates they should be.

I think this is a great book for children who also do not identify with what they appear to be. It offers support and hope. Even though Lulu does not find friends within her own community of dogs, she eventually finds herself in a loving, accepting community. This book has an important, imapcting message for children everywhere, even thos who do not identify as LGBTQ. It’s still helpful to read and understand what LGBTQ individuals are going through

Lulu is a a Rhinoceros was an easy and fun read. I can imagine a few young children that will enjoy Lulu’s adventures. Lulu is a bulldog who sees herself as a rhino and only if she had a horn, then everyone would know it. The illustrations are adorable and the story is affirming to anyone who has felt different.

This gentle story is a great analogy for gender identity, or any other differences -- and the struggles Lulu has while insisting to dogs and pigeons that she's a rhino.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the opportunity to read and view a pre-publication ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book to a 3-year old boy while babysitting. We picked it out because of the cute cover. The illustrations are beautiful and very cute. I love dogs and know from experience small dogs often think they are the largest dog in the park. We both enjoyed and loved the funny story about Lulu who insists she really is a rhinoceros. I'd definitely recommend this to read to small children. I received this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Everyone else sees Lulu as a bulldog, but she knows she's a rhinoceros. This charming picture book follows Lulu on her quest to be seen as the rhino she is. The illustrations are adorable, the storyline is sweet, and the ending is affirming. As other reviewers mentioned, this gentle story is a great analogy for gender identity -- the struggles Lulu endures while trying to tell dogs and pigeons that she's a rhino are reminiscent of the cruelty and hatred that face many gender nonconforming people without being too much for young readers to handle.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Diamond Book for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. This is a children's book. Great to be read to small children and the for them to read to you. Its silly but cute. Lulu is a bulldog who thinks she is a rhinoceros. The graphics are quite . good. I rate this book a 4. I think most children would find it funny and silly but good.

Lulu the bulldog was convinced that she wasn’t a dog but a rhinoceros.

She wasn’t discouraged by everyone telling her otherwise, she just went and did what she always wanted - to be a rhino.

This story has two sides.
1, children’s book about a cute little doggie LuLu & her adventures
2, it can be also a story of a transgender “dog” & the way she is trying to find herself & fit right where she belongs

I think this story sends a strong message about being yourself no matter what everyone else says.
I am sure kids will fall in love with this doggy adventure!

3 stars, it was cute & also very simple.

This is a cute, silly story of a dog who thinks she is a rhino, even though the world sees her as a bull dog.

So, she sets out to get a horn, because, of course, that is all she is missing. If the world saw she had a horn, they would see she is a rhino. The picture below is of a pigeon taking off with her horn, which she says is just a banana.

Although one could read this as a tale of a transgender...trans-species dog, I think it might just be about a dog that wants to be a rhino.

Fun, fast paced, and wonderful illustrations. Kids should enjoy falling in love with Lulu and her quest to be who she feels she is.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This could be seen as a diatribe on behalf of the snowflake, "hey everyone, let's change gender and be something new and call ourselves Nancy" brigade, but I don't think I'll read it that way. I'll take is as a straight-up, warming and entertainingly illustrated picture book, concerning a dog that doesn't think she's a dog. The message is writ large about being what you want to be, but even here it's circumstance and not reality that gets our heroine to the position she's in at the close of play. What we have here is a decently plotted story, too, with fun to be had from the different self-affirming measures Lulu tries on for size. Commended.
