Lucy on the Loose is about a dog that gets on the loose. The owner chased the dog all over town. I couldn't put it down because it was so exciting!

I am 7 years old and I think this book is a very good book.
This book is about 2 boys that lost Lucy the dog and find her at the
baseball game. They meet a lady who wants her cat. The boys told her that she had an orange cat and they said they had seen her cat because Lucy was chasing her cat. At the end of the story the cat was sleeping and the dog was tired and the boys have a party.

I work with children who are either having problems reading or who are possibly having self esteem problems in the regular classroom. I bring my pet partner (bitsie a miniature daschund) into the school and the children (who are chosen by their teacher) read to her. I have been able to see them loose shyness and gain more confidence in their ability to read as the year has progressed. There are about 10 teams of dogs and their partners going into a local school and the kids really enjoy seeing them. I have found that short chapter book such as this are very good books for them to read.

My seven year old loves these Lucy books. When we first bought them, we read them to him. Now he reads them himself. They are nicely done, good for their target audience. There is some discussion of the difficulties of being young while still allowing the book to be accessible to its target audience.

The book is so awesome. I loved it. It's a good book for me because my dog ran away and her name was Lucy. I am 7 years old. I loved her so much just like Bobby did.

A fine book for early readers. Lacks in substance, very predictable, yet still fun.
