What a fun little early reader story!! My best friend's little girl is named Lucy, so of course I had to pick up this book for her at the bookstore! This is a very cute little story with excellent illustrations about a dog's short adventure in a school. Definitely a good one for young readers and for read-aloud.

This is a very cute story about a dog who gets loose in a school and has a few adventures. It is still simple enough for your level 3 reader and the illustrations are very sweet. Recommended especially for young ones who love dogs.

Little Lucy visits her owner at his school, just read as an ebook on a android phone, looking forward to showing parents how they can share books on their phones.

My son picked this book out on his own at the book store. He was drawn to the illustrations and I’m happy that there is some diversity in the school setting. After we read this book, I was able to open up my son’s imagination and asked him what would his dog, Nigel, do if he came to school? Would it be like Lucy and run away or would Nigel stay and play? From there he had a pretty detailed version of his own story based on these questions.
