Lucy the good
By Marianne Musgrove and illustrated by Orsini, Cheryl
Lucy has a lot of trouble controlling her temper and frequently throws temper tantrums despite her best efforts. When her Great-Aunt Bep visits the family from Holland, she tells Lucy about the Dutch Santa Claus who kidnaps naughty children before Christmas. Lucy thinks that Aunty Bep is mean and old-fashioned, but throughout the book discovers her softer side. Lucy the Good is set in Adelaide and Lucy's Dutch-Australian family is modern and loving.
