New Year's/mid-February resolution: even a short post is better than nothing. What matters is putting pen to paper . . . fingers to keys . . . stylus pen to swipe-screen? Ah, technology.
Randy Cecil's Lucy doesn't rely on technology; instead, this story (in black and white) takes readers back to a time of vaudeville stage-hooks, snow globes, street musicians and soup can stacks. Add a stray--and usually hungry--dog, an observant girl, and you've got a charming story about friendship and determination that will stand out on the bookshelf.
Quirky and unique, Lucy is told in chapters and acts. While significantly longer than most picture books, it is more lavish and illustrated than your typical chapter book. Readers who enjoy memorable, thoughtful tales such as those by Kate DiCamillo and illustrators like Tony DiTerlizzi and Bagram Ibatoulline should add Randy Cecil to their bookshelf.
Happy reading!
