Book Reviews of Lucky Boy

Book Review: "Lucky" to Have Found Each Other.....
Summary: 5 Stars

Poor Boy. He's stuck in the fenced backyard with nothing to do, nothing to see, and nowhere to go. The Gustin family brought him home on a whim; he was a freebe in a box at the store. But they're too busy, and have no time to pay attention to, or love a dog. So he sits in the yard, sad and lonely, cold in winter and hot in summer. Next door, on the other side of the tall fence is Mr Miller. He's all alone and very sad too. One very hot summer day, Boy began to dig. He was so hot, and the earth as he dug, grew cooler and cooler, that he kept digging deeper and deeper until he'd dug himself right out of the Gustin's yard..... Susan Boase has authored an uplifting story with a gentle message that won't be lost on young readers. The simple, heartfelt text is beautifully enhanced by her engaging and expressive, soft pencil illustrations, and together word and art paint a sweet and tender picture showing how a little love and companionship makes any life happier and more fulfilled. Perfect for youngsters 4-8, Lucky Boy is a heartwarming, read-aloud story the entire family can share an enjoy, and definitely one of 2002's best new books. Kudos to Susan Boase on such an outstanding debut!
