This is a book all about a name. This book is about a little girl Lucy and how she learned to spell her name and all the fun things her family did to help her. She had many opportunities to spell out her name throughout the book and that's what she liked to do. Everything had her name on it. The Illustrations were colorful and fun as well ( )

This book is a story about how your name defines you and makes you unique. Lucy tells about all the special times in her life and how her name was used for them. Lucy shares all the different ways that she enjoys using her name. This a great story for children to read to learn why they should love their name, and why it is so special to them personally. This book is very different, the way it flows is just so calming. It would be a great bedtime story. I really love the style that Susan Swanson uses in her writing. ( )

By the title of the book and the first paragraph in the book, I was sure I was going to like. The first thing that the Lucy learned from her mother was her name and reading how much pride her mother had in the name was adorable. I thought the rest of the book would focus on other things that the girl learned from her mother, instead the rest of the book focused on this little girls name. The book was boring and it was difficult for me to read. The illustrations resembled water-color art, which I was not a fan of. I would not read this book to a group of students. ( )

I thought this book was really cute. It gets you thinking about what was the first thing your mom told you. I would recommend this book for anyone. This is something I can identify with because my mom wrote my name on everything. As I got older I wanted things with my name or initials.It is a very realistic book. ( )

Genre: Realistic fiction
Review: Although we do not know that this story actually happened, it could happen to anyone. The girl is told her name and then she identifies it in numerous ways as she gets new clothes, goes to school, gets gifts, etc. These are all events that children experience, so it would be relatable to all readers.
