Why read it?
1 author picked Lou as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Lou is the most lovable fire hydrant who thinks he is only a toilet for dogs but eventually realizes his full potential. I love that the main character doesn’t know what the reader does about Lou’s real purpose. There is also an entire storyline happening in the background that is hilarious and gives this book the perfect balance of humor and heart.
From DK's list on where the reader knows more than the character.
