Dear Diary,
I made boats today. Pip and I took them down to the pond to see if they would float. “They'll go all the way to China, won't they, Lucie?”
“Unless they meet a whale, Pip.”
Lucie makes her own hats and boats, bakes cakes, walks on stilts, and is writing a book. The whimsical, charming text works on two levels, with each exquisite “handwritten” diary entry followed by dialog and illustration which illuminate the scene. The story of Lucie and Pip ends with detailed instructions on making a felt hat for a mouse.
Meet Lucie and her young friend, Pip, through the diary entries of Lucie - a thoroughly modern mouse, with a style all of her own. She makes her own hats and boats, bakes cakes, walks on stilts, and is writing a book. This title is aimed at ages 2-5.Louise Pfanner is the author of The Book of Gifts to Make, Louise Builds a Boat, and Louise Builds a House.
