The Very First Lucy Goose Book

Five independent episodes in the life of Lucy, a resourceful goose. Readers of five-up enjoy her exploits, and the company of her allies, Duck Dick and Noel Vole. The stories are in an attractive and accessible comic strip format. There's gentle humour and irony, and the writer-artist has imaginative flair. In the involvement of newspapers, TV and cook books in the picture stories, there's a sharp sense of the contemporary literacies which children bring to their reading. Well worth getting hold of: a new artist worth watching.
