Review
Lucy and her animal friends, including a snail, a mouse, and a rabbit have lots of adventures together. This book tells of three of those adventures; in one, Adrian the snail is nearly mistaken for a hazelnut and eaten; in another, Lucy and her friends surprise Henry the rabbit into helping follow a treasure map only to find that the treasure is a birthday present for him; in the last, three little chicks have been orphaned and are looking for a mother and a father and end up with acquiring unlikely volunteers. The illustrations are soft and pastel, the text lends itself to a readaloud for the younger set, but siblings a bit older will be able to read this themselves. Happy endings abound and beginner readers will like the chapter-like format of this book.
Overall Book Score: very good
