Lucky the Naughty Puppy (Living Books PC Game)

"Lucky the Naughty Puppy" is the eighteenth and final Living Books Disney CD-ROM based on the 1995 storybook written by Marc Brown, and the PC CD-Rom will be released in September 14, 2022.

## Plot

Lucky is established as a naughty puppy, as the title states; he refuses to behave, and when he does behave, he prefers it in very specific ways. The only foods he ate (as a naughty puppy or picky eater) would be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and plain spaghetti (for main course foods).

The story first starts with Lucky, his sister Mia, and Captain Beakman (their mother) in the kitchen, unloading the groceries. This takes place on Sunday. For the first day (Sunday), Lucky is not willing to try new foods. Lucky holds a packet of fish --trout-- (to which he says, "Yuck! I am not eating this!"). Captain Beakman tells Lucky that he has never even tried it. Lucky whines, "It's looking at me." Then, he tells himself that in more than anything else in the whole world, he especially hates spinach. Mia (after Lucky says this) takes note that he is a naughty puppy and a picky eater.

For the second day (Thursday), at dinner with the family, there is Hawaiian shrimp for dinner. However, Lucky simply pretends to try it by feeding it to the his dog and Mia's cat, Angelica and Spike. However, Mia finds that absurd and says to Lucky, "I wouldn't do that if I were a naughty puppy like you".

On Friday, Lucky is at his friend Bobby's house, where they are having spaghetti. He doesn't want any spaghetti sauce on his. His values work at one point (he had Hawaiian shrimp for dinner on Thursday; she went to Emily's house for dinner on Friday and had spaghetti). His "hopes" of not having spinach for dinner come true, but only for the first six days of the no-spinach week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday).

But at dinner on Saturday, Lucky and his family went out to dinner. At the restaurant, Lucky was served a salad and had to do something. The salad is contained with spinach. Lucky (when he finds the leafy green vegetables not lettuce but spinach) cries, "This salad has spinach in it!". After complaining that the salad has spinach, he refuses. His mother Captain Beakman insists for him to try it (saying, "Just try it. Okay?"). Mia warns her demi Lovato doll that he is going to pop (saying, "He is going to have a tantrum."). Then her father J.P. begs, "Please try it my baby boy." Instead of trying the spinach, she complains and doesn't try anything. He screams out her hatred towards spinach by yelling, “I hate spinach!”. After saying that, he pounds his fists on the table and the salad dish. The salad spills out its contents. This embarrasses her whole family. Her mother sighs, "I'm so embarrassed!". J.P. hopes out, "I Sure Need To Bring Puppy Puffs Next Time". Mia (when clicked on) sighs, "Well, so much for dinner!". J.P. --having enough of Lucky's "picky eater" behavior since Sunday-- says to him (when clicked on), "Hopefully It Will Be Early To Bed For You Lucky". This means that he is forbidden from any more restaurants until he learns to cooperate and eat what is placed in front of him. Also, as for J.P.'s "early to bed" comment, Lucky is sent to bed early. He has one day in his room and a week in the house from restaurants, except for preschool.

After a week of grounding, it is "Once Upon a Restaurant" day (which is for Freddy's birthday), but Lucky is not allowed to join, as Freddy's birthday at "Once Upon a Restaurant" is part of Lucky's punishment.

During his grounding time (until Lucky learns his lesson), the family goes out to dinner without him. At this point, it's Sunday again --this starts with the next day; Sunday-- and Lucky is forced (and meant) to stay home with K.C. She is friendly but also quite strict. She only allowed Lucky to have puppy puffs for snacks. Then at night --exactly 8:00/8 o'clock-- she tells Lucky it is time for bed (saying, "Bedtime You Little Nugget, Now march, quick like a bunny!").

These babysitter values go well (even though Lucky is still not allowed to go to any restaurants until he learns his lesson). But on Monday morning, at breakfast, Mia twirls a tiny paper umbrella. Lucky demands where Mia got it from and she says, "At the Chinese restaurant." Meanwhile, he begins to wonder what he has been missing (probably a tiny paper umbrella, as Mia finds them fun).

However, this is only the beginning of Lucky's "desire" to be released from being grounded from going out to dinner. Because three days later, there are soon plans to go out for Freddy's birthday party (as Captain Beakman announces it as their big night out). This is for Friday. Lucky takes note of that and demands to lift the grounding (as this event, Freddy's Birthday, is part of his three week punishment), saying he wants to go, too. His family agrees with that, but only under a specific condition. That is: "You must eat what's on the menu", which is said by Father. As a result, J.P. and Captain Beakman cancel Lucky's punishment of restaurants and let Lucky come to Freddy's birthday (even when Lucky promises to try new foods, along with being green and looking like leaves, which Mia asks).

Everyone gets dressed up Saturday night. Part of Mia's fancy clothes is the shoes with the bows, which pinch her paws as Lucky's Clothes Look Like He's At A Prom. As such, the restaurant they go to is a fancy restaurant, which is called "Once Upon a Restaurant". Mia and Lucky then wish Freddy a "Happy Birthday". After that, Lucky prays, "I hope they have plain spaghetti" (trying to whisper that comment to her mind). However, Mia, Captain Beakman, and J.P still hope Lucky tries new foods. Lucky (even though he still hopes the restaurant has peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or plain spaghetti), says to himself, "Definitely".

Lucky feels happy when he sits in his high chair and thinks to himself, "No one should see me if I have to get rid of something disgusting."

Then a waiter appears, whose name is Richard. He then offers a booster seat for Mia, while Lucky, who questions him if there are any foods with paper umbrellas on them. Richard tells them that there aren't. Finally, Lucky orders a dish called the Little Bo Peep Pot Pie.

When dinner is served, all eyes are on Lucky To everyone's surprise, Lucky takes one bite from his Little Bo Peep Pot Pie and loves it. He then eats a second piece and quickly eats the entire thing. After this, Lucky asks J.P if he could make it at home some time for him and Mia, which J.P might need the instructions for.

At the end, Lucky asks Richard how it's made when he comes back and clears Lucky's dishes. Suddenly, he shocks her when he says that it's very simple to make. It is just a pie pastry filled with lots and lots of spinach. By that answer, Mia is now scared after what Lucky and Richard said, as it may lead her to eat spinach if the family ever makes it at home. But in the spite of being shocked about the dish (Little Bo-Peep Pot Pie) having spinach, she does not mind. Because she knew to eat what is in front of her at restaurants anyway when she was Lucky's age, Captain Beakman says "Mia-Mia, Not You Too" after upon seeing this as the other babies with their families fainted and say "Oh Dear".

## Trivia

* While the Living Books production staff worked on this game, Media Station produced the game as a result of Brøderbund's shutdown in 1998 (despite the Brøderbund logo oddly being on the cover along with copyright info about Brøderbund). This is the reason for some of the outcomes having occurred as a result:

* This is the last official Living Books Disney game.

* This game is not likely to be re-released by Wanderful, due to low production values and lack of Broderbund's involvement. Copies of the CD-ROM can still be found on some auction sites including eBay.

* This is why it is the only Living Books Disney game that doesn't use the IBM/Mohawk engines, and the only Living Books Disney game that will not work on your desktop without the CD-ROM.

* This is the only Living Books Disney game that has a different menu system (rather than the usual menu system; the usual main page from the other games) aside from the rest of the games in the series. Lucky's bedroom is set as the main menu, so all the option buttons are different than usual and come from clicking on any object in Lucky's bedroom.

* This is the only Living Books Disney game that has omitted "Read to Me" as an option and also the character dance on the main menu.

* As the only Living Books Disney Mia Kitten game, it goes straight back to the main menu, making it the fourth game in the series without a “THE END” screen, just like with Sofia The First: Once Upon A Princess, Toy Story The Movie and The New Kid on the Block. However, all the other Living Books in the Mia Kitten series have a "THE END" screen.

* This is the only Living Books Disney game not to have a character say "Welcome to Living Books Disney!" on the main menu. Harry and the Haunted House, Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat In The Hat also have the similar situations where a character says something else rather than “Welcome to Living Books Disney!”.

* This is the only Living Books Disney game that does not have "No" or "Yes" answers for the Quit page, instead saying "Quit" or "Stay".

* When the user clicks on Lucky's door if they want to quit (seen as an option on both the main menu and on the pages), Lucky gives the user a "Quit" and "Stay" answer.

* Instead of "Are you sure you want to quit?", he says "If you want to say goodbye, click 'Quit'. If you want to keep playing, click 'Stay'". You leave the book when Lucky says "Buh-bye" (if "Quit" is chosen). However, clicking "Quit" is not always necessary to do so, because the user may want to keep playing the game by choosing "Stay". Lucky says "Great" (if "Stay" is chosen). Then, the "Quit" and "Stay" options fly upward off screen so the user can continue playing.

* It is also the only Living Books Disney game to have only 10 pages, and not display the page number.

* This is the only Living Books Disney game that also allows the player to skip out reading by clicking to skip.

* On Mia's Computer Adventure, this can be done by pressing the Enter key. But neither of these features allow the player to skip out the reading work in the Mia's Computer Adventure game nor the other 16 games (prior to Lucky the Naughty Puppy).

* Also, in this game, this is the only Living Books Disney game which allows the player to skip out both the Living Books Disney logo and title screen to go directly to the main menu (without having to see the Living Books Disney logo and title) by clicking to skip.

* like Ruff's Bone, Green Eggs and Ham, and Mia's Computer Adventure, this game also has its own original credits (displaying a picture from one page of the book) and doesn't use any jazz credits animations.

In the cartoon version from the Arthur TV series, the waiter at "Once Upon a Restaurant" is the same waiter from the restaurant from a previous Saturday that D.W. and her family went out to dinner at. In this version (the Living Books CD-ROM adaptation) and the book too, the waiter from the restaurant from a previous Saturday that D.W. and her family went out to dinner at was also "Once Upon a Restaurant".

In the cartoon version, D.W.'s mother, Jane, told D.W. she would not have any restaurants until she learned to behave appropriately and eat what was in front of her. In this version (and book adaptation), D.W.'s father (Mr. David Read) told her. But still, she was not allowed to do any restaurants until she learned to cooperate.
