Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The sixth vintage Little Lulu comic-book collection corrals five issues. Half a century old, these clever stories are as entertaining as they were when first published. Readers today should come to appreciate how comics master Stanley takes the simple joys of suburban childhood--skating on a frozen pond, waging a snowman-building contest, wangling out of a violin lesson--and turns them into something hysterical and archetypal. Sure, the simpler time Little Lulu harks back to, when a youngster's biggest worry was escaping the truant officer or avoiding "those tough kids from downtown," when Mom was always at home, and when children walked everyplace--there's not a car in sight--probably never existed. An innocent gender stereotyping is at work here, too. Gentle, good-natured Lulu is always well-meaning, while her pal Tubby, though seldom malicious, is more of a scamp. Whether benign or mischievous, their antics always eventuate in hilarity. Grown-up readers may find themselves wishing their childhoods had been as benign and beguiling as that depicted in Stanley's world. Gordon Flagg
