Mandy picked a kitten from the pound. Naming her Lucy, Mandy is happy as could be. Lucy has an unusual talent though. She changes blue when the mood so strikes her. Obviously, `Blucy' is a name more suited to her. Feisty little thing that she is, Blucy begins to create chaos & refuse to eat. Can Mandy find a way to her new, blue friend's heart?`Blucy' is everything a children's' book should be. Erika Lebarre has created stunning pictures that I fell in love with immediately. Our feline friend is depicted exactly as you'd imagine that she'd look. Julia Dweck has definitely captured the essence of a child's love for their pet, no matter how ornery the pet may be.Mandy never loses her temper & just keeps trying. This is a fabulous message for today's youth. Perseverance is a lost art. But, main character Mandy shows it in a fun way & is rewarded for her positive attitude.`Blucy' is the perfect length for beginning readers who will stay attentive with the beautiful illustrations. Word choice is perfect for preschoolers through third graders. I'd absolutely recommend, with a 5 out of 5 star rating, purchasing this book for your personal library and/or sending it along for an addition to the classroom. Well done!I received an Ebook copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
