Reading to Peanut

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amanda Haley. Lucy asks her parents to teach her to read and write--for a secret reason. Bright, unfailingly cheery illustrations show her learning how by drawing pictures and studying the labels her parents make. At the end, readers discover why Lucy is so industrious (it has to do with her misbehaving dog). There's not a lot of tension, but the story is pleasant enough.
