Picture Books for Young Readers: Lucille

Lucille's Snowsuit

Yippee! It's a snow day. Lucille is jealous when her big brother and sister head outside to play in their sleek snow pants and jackets while she's stuck inside putting on her snowsuit. Literally stuck—her zipper won't zip and she can't get her snowsuit over her boots. Worst of all, "Snowsuits are for babies and I'm not a baby!" she yells. With a little help from Mommy, Lucille finally runs outside to join the snowy fun, and that's when she discovers that perhaps snowsuits are indeed best for making the most of a snow day.

Lucille Camps In

Lucille’s older brother and sister are heading off on a camping trip with their dad, but Lucille’s too young to go. No fair! Lucille is mad about being left behind, and nothing her mom does can cheer her up. Then Lucille gets an idea of her very own: If camping out is fun, why can’t camping in be even better? From pitching a tent in the living room to toasting marshmallows in the fireplace, Lucille and her mom are soon on an adventure of their very own. And the only limit is their imagination.
