Lucky Goes to School (Penguin Young Readers, L2)
PreSchool-Grade 1-Lucky's boy is starting school and the pup doesn't  think he can have fun without him. Then he sees not only lots of  boys and girls in the schoolyard but lots of dogs as well. All  of the canines seem sad until they go to the park for a day of  fun. Lucky is reunited with his owner after class is dismissed  and they both go home happy. Large, colorful cartoon  illustrations on double-page spreads offer some visual interest  but the thin plotline provides little narrative interest. A  marginal purchase for collections looking for beginning readers  with large type and an easy, repetitive text.Janie Schom- berg, Leal Elementary School, Urbana, ILCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
