Lucy the Good

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Cheryl Orsini. Lucy wants to be good, but her impulsive nature and quick temper make it difficult. When elderly Tante Bep visits from the Netherlands, she warns Lucy to behave--or Black Piet will take her away forever. In this Australian import, Musgrove's prose is precise and her imagery well chosen. The realistic story of a girl trying to control her temper will win fans.
