The Very First Lucy Goose Book

If you are over the age of two, and under six, there’s a new book out for you. It is called “The Very First Lucy Goose Book,” written by Stephen Weatherill and published by Pan Books (Picture Piper).

Of course, most of you will be having it — and this — read to you, but you will like the pictures. They are like a very good and easy-to-read comic strip.

Pan’s new release of Picture Piper books are aimed at children between the ages of two and six.

Picture Piper say they are “introducing the best

of today’s writers and illustrators” to children taking their first reading steps.

In this case, the author, freelance cartoonist and illustrator, Stephen Weatherill is a man fond of his subject — he has a goose of his own.

The illustrator of a comic strip in the “Financial Times” called “The Rat Race,” Weatherill provides five delightful and short comic strip-style stories about Lucy and her friends, Duck Dick, Noel Vole, Godfrey the Gander and more which will hold the

shortest span of attention. ROSEMARY BRADER
