Book Reviews of Shlemazel and the Remarkable Spoon of Pohost

Book Review: Found luck
Summary: 5 Stars

A shlemazel is someone with no luck, but in this story, a lazy shlemazel finds luck in the strangest way---by digging for it, and instead of finding any, getting paid for his enterprise.

He wants luck, though, not zlotys, and next he turns to the mill to seek his luck, all the while digging with a magic spoon given to him by a neighbor.

As this story goes to show, work, and luck are both what one makes of them, and even a lazy shlemazel can find both.

A wonderful read for little kids, and grown ups alike.
