    Lucy by Randy Cecil Lucy is a small dog without a home. She had one once, but she remembers it only in her dreams. Eleanor is a little girl who looks forward to feeding the stray dog that appears faithfully beneath her window each day. Eleanor’s father is a juggler with stage fright. The overlapping stories of three delightful characters, offering a slightly different perspective each time, come together in a truly original, beautifully illustrated book for dog (and underdog) lovers of all ages. A tiny dog, a kindhearted girl, and a nervous juggler converge in a cinematic book in four acts — a unique children’s literature experience.

    Lucy

    The overlapping stories of three charactersLucy, Eleanor,


    and Eleanors fatherplay out in four acts. Discuss with
    students what the word act means in this context.
    The first three acts begin nearly the same way, but there are
    slight differences shown in the illustrations as the story
    progresses. In pairs, have students read the text and examine
    the illustrations closely, then make lists of the differences.
    Through Lucys dreams, the reader gets a glimpse of her
    previous life. Have students write and illustrate a story about
    what they imagine a day in that life was like for Lucy.
