Clean lines and muted colors lend a simple charm to Siminovich's
flat cartoon illustrations - which compensates, at least in part,
for her jackhammer style of lesson delivery. Alex (a dog) and Lulu
(a cat) love pillow fights and playing on the swings. But because
he also likes sports, climbing trees, jumping in puddles,
pretending to be a sailor and other boy things, while she's more
into painting, reading and flowers, Alex begins to fret that
they're "too different to be friends." After going off on a tangent
with a disquisition on "opposites," Lulu leadingly restores his
equanimity by explaining that " 'sometimes it's because we're so
different that we have the most fun when we're - ' 'Together!'
shouts Alex." Most younger children aren't likely to be so
analytical about their friendships - and those who are may be more
convinced by the many better articulated celebrations of
differences, from Frog and Toad and Tony Johnston's Alien and
Possum on. (Picture book. 4-6) (Kirkus Reviews)
Meet best friends Alex & Lulu. Everyone says how different they
are, but they always have fun together. Alex loves doing noisy
exciting things, whereas Lulu likes observing & painting. Alex
is worried that they may be opposites, so Lulu explains what
opposites are, & shows Alex that it is their differences that
make them best friends.
