title: Little Lucie's Diary
author:  Louise Pfanner 
description: This Australian importdepicts the life of Little Lucie and her best friend, Pip, over a two-week period. The mouse friends sing together, take nature walks, celebrate Pips birthday, make a spider web, walk on stilts, go to the beach, and spend time at Lucies house, which is a pink hat box. Pfanners illustrations are delicious, with clean lines, cheerful pastel colors, and charming details everywhere. The industrious Lucie makes Pip a felt hat, and, at the end of the book, Pfannerprovides directionsso kids can make one of their own with adult help (a good idea, butthe directions are a bit confusing). Written partly in journal entries, the format may be daunting to follow,the diary parts appear in script (reminiscent of the look of Joan Walsh Anglunds books), and theaction, in standard type, is woven inand out ofscript andillustrations.Whatwill keep little ones involved is the sweet friendship story. --Bina Williams
zlib_text: GUESS WHAT...WE’RE (STILL) MARRIED!
  She was only seventeen when Chase Parker swept Lady Lucie Fortune Chesterfield off her royal feet.
  His oil magnate father cut their love affair short and forced them to annul their union...or so he
  thought. Ten years later, the wealthy Texas rancher uncovers a secret—he’s still wed to the one
  woman he’s never been able to forget!
  Lucie was always “the quiet one.” While her mom and sister have been tailed mercilessly by the
  tabloids, she’s maintained a low profile and a gracious image. No one has ever uncovered her deep,
  dark secret—an impulsive teenage marriage. When Chase tracks her down, she still finds him hard to
  resist. And as they prepare to untie the wedding knot, Lucie wonders: What if their biggest mistake
  was saying goodbye?
