Here's a sweet, simple, charming little book for children (2 - 8) and their parents, especially those who share their lives with a cat. It's the story of Lucy's early life, her adoption by her human foster-family, and her mostly-quiet adventures and interests. The book is full of great photos that capture Lucy doing the things she does.Those who know and love cats will recognize the gentle humor that infuses Lucy's sincere wish to be helpful in all situations.I read the English translation, from Finnish, which was obviously written by someone whose first language is not English, although it is well done and easy to understand. This in itself I found charming. It may give parents an opportunity to introduce the concept of foreign language and translation to young children -- especially since the speaker is Lucy herself, a Finnish kitty and a real sweetheart.
