Really cute book, and I'm sure lots of kids know what it's like to be in Lucy's shoes (or have been on the receiving end). It's by the same author who did The Curious Garden.

You Will Be My Friend!
by Peter Brown
Lucy the bear wants to make a new friend. So she visits all the forest animals, eager and friendly. But a bit lacking in social skills. She's too boisterous and talkative for most of them, I can exactly picture what kind of outgoing, slightly annoying four-year-old child this bear personifies. The pictures of Lucy trying to squeeze into a rabbit's hole, belly-flopping into a frog puddle and trying to give a skunk a bath are cute and funny. She's well-meaning and nothing but persistent- but the other animals all look annoyed or at best, startled by her tactics. Getting frustrated, Lucy starts demanding that the other animals play with her, but of course that doesn't work either. Finally, when she least expects it, a flamingo comes along who likes to play Lucy's games. Phew, a happy ending!

That looks adorable!
ReplyDeleteLooks cute, but it might make me sad to see how many critters don't warm up to her.
ReplyDeleteWell, her approach is often very off-putting to the others. Like asking the ostrich what it's like to fly, insisting she'll "help" the skunk smell better by giving him a bath. Just plain ignorance about what others might be feeling.
