Review

Lucy is a sweet little stray white dog. She lives in an alley but discovers a house where a little girl, Eleanor, sneaks her sausages every morning. Eleanor wants Lucy to be more than just a stray she gives a sausage to every morning, but she isn't sure how to make that happen, especially since her dad needs her help too. This is an incredibly sweet book. It is 144 pages long with sparse text but plenty of endearing black and white drawings that capture Lucy and Eleanor perfectly. The story is simply told but it's message is wonderful. This would be a great family read a-loud.

Overall Book Score: excellent
