YOUNGER FICTION
Cooper, Ilene

Absolutely Lucy

(3) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Illustrated by Amanda Harvey. Bobby Quinn is too shy to make new friends, but when he receives a lively beagle puppy for his eighth birthday, she helps him overcome his shyness and make friends--with both an elderly neighbor and kids his own age. The author handles the common childhood situation with a deft touch. Brief chapters and black-and-white line drawings add appeal for new chapter-book readers.
