Review: One Lucky Family
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 11, 2013
This book is the first in the Lucky Little Labrador series. Lucky is the smallest in a litter of eight pups. The others are always bossing him around. One day a little boy and his family come into the pet store. The boy falls in love with him and dad cannot refuse. He says that the pup is very Lucky. The name sticks. But Lucky and the little boy are always getting into trouble because of Lucky's curiosity. One day he and the boy fall into a mud hole. They are constantly getting punished. But one day when Lucky sneaks into the kitchen at night to steal a snack, he finds someone there. The family decides that they are really lucky! This book is advertised as a chapter book for ages 6-9. The pictures are adorable, but many of the sentences are long and complex. I think that it is more suitable for the higher end of that range. This book will be popular with children who like books about dogs.
