Book excerpt: This charming tale of love, friendship, and community follows Charlie the postman in his adventures around town. When fun-loving Charlie loses his spirit after his wife passes away, his friends suggest he get a dog. Unfortunately, Lucy--the dog Charlie picks--hates postmen. With the help of his neighbors, Charlie tricks Lucy into thinking that he's just an ordinary guy by performing everyday tasks like gardening and laundry--and she excitedly hops in his basket for a ride around town to deliver the mail. Vibrant illustrations and a warm, compassionate story make this a delightful picture book for young children.
