i LOVE lucille!!

i'm working towards my masters and taking a few children's lit. classes this semester - when i thought about what my favorite children's book was, i immediately came up with "LUCILLE"!! i haven't read it in years, but i could sit here right now and tell you exactly what lucille wore when she got dressed up...
i love lucille because, in the end, she realized that it's OK to be yourself - i think every child needs to hear that message...over and over again.

Lucille the horse

This book is about a horse named Lucille. Lucille belongs to a farmer, and helps him to plow his fields. One day Lucille realizes that she is `dull and dirty'. The farmer's wife has also realized this. She takes it upon herself to turn Lucille into a lady. First Lucille gets a hat with pink roses on it. Next she gets four shiny, red, high-heeled shoes. And last but not least she gets a white dress. Now Lucille is all dressed up as a lady. The only problem is, she doesn't know how to act like one. When the farmer's wife invites some other ladies over to meet Lucille, she gets nervous. Finally she runs out of the farmhouse and back to plow the fields with the farmer. She has realized that you shouldn't hide who you are.

This story is told in a very straightforward manner that endeared it to me. Every page has wonderful illustrations. The pictures of Lucille all dressed up in her finery are really precious.

Memories

I used to read this book to my daughter when she was just learning how to read. It brings back memories for the both of us. I've not read another book quite like it. It should be a classic.
