When Lucy Goes Out Walking: A Puppy's First Year
PreSchool-Grade 2—Wolff celebrates the curiosity and playfulness of a black-and-white puppy with a poem for each month of the year. The second and final lines of each verse repeat, offering opportunity for interactive reading. The author quotes the dog in couplets nestled in each poem, "She sniffs and meets, wags and greets/Each and every dog./'Romp and run!/Let's have some fun!'" Realistic gouache art celebrates the colors of the outdoors and Lucy's pep. Each spread features a month and provides a glimpse of a calendar showing the previous and upcoming months. Endpapers are spattered with views of Lucy in various poses.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
