Another fun and colourful book by Trudy Davidson. Melanie Mitchell’s illustrations are delightful.
Curious Lucie Lamb finds a way to escape her field and explores the rest of the farm with her brother, Harry. She is excited to visit the other animals: pigs, chickens, horses and cows. There is plenty to talk about and lots to look for when sharing this book with a child.
The writing is in a rhyming style with repetition which children will enjoy. The rhyming style is quite individual, however, and does take a little bit of getting used to.
Towards the end of the story, a fun recap mentions all that has happened including the new animal friends that have been made by Lucie and Harry on their unexpected adventure. This is a nice touch.
On the last page they are happily reunited at a picnic with their sheep family and even the sheep dog is joining in!
I award this book 4 stars.
