"Cousin Lucy at Study" by Jacob Abbott is a children's story set in the 1800's that tells about a young girl named Lucy’s adventures in learning. Aimed at young readers, especially girls, the story combines fun with lessons, with a focus on learning and what childhood is about. Lucy, the main character, faces the difficulties of studying, especially arithmetic, and gets support from her brother Royal and her friendly teacher, Miss Anne who is also a cousin. At the start, Lucy is happy to get a new slate, but finds it hard to open the parcel. As she starts her very first arithmetic lesson with Royal, the story uses a cheerful tone while showing the problems and confusion that can happen when learning. Lucy's character shows the innocence and determination many kids have when learning new things. The relationships between Lucy, Royal, and Miss Anne highlight how important it is to have good educational guidance and to encourage learning in a way that kids can relate to.
