Everyone Thinks Lulu is a Bulldog, but...
 
Lulu is a rhinoceros - that's what she sees when she looks in the mirror. But everyone thinks Lulu is a bulldog! It's what she looks like on the outside, so it must be what she is on the inside. Lulu know she's not really a dog, and when she decides to tell the world who she really is, a wild adventure begins in an all-new picture book from Wicked Cow Studios: Lulu is a Rhinoceros!
