Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The title of this book was changed to be Politically Correct
Review: This book used to be called "What Good Luck, What Bad Luck." I can only assume there was some kind of bizarre backlash asserting that the book encouraged a believe in luck and thus, superstition. How can this happen here? The sing-song cadence of 'Good Luck, Bad Luck' was perfect. The replacement with 'Fortunately' simply ruins what was a charming and memorable book. For shame!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent artwork and writing
Review: This is one of my twenty favorite children's books, up with Good Night Moon. The story is compelling (every other page is a cliffhanger) and the artwork is excellent and perfectly matches the alternating moods of the story.

I had never heard of the author (Remy Charlip) before. Now, I want to read everything else by them.

This book is a storytime and *bedtime* favorite for the 3-year olds I know. Must give them interesting dreams!

Summary: Actually, this is the original
Review: This is the original title, as published in '64. Apparently it was changed in '69 to
"What Good Luck..." because the publisher thought the word "fortunately" was too abstract for kids! Thank goodness they changed it back. Anyway, wonderful book - my four year old won't let me go a night without reading it, just as I did with my dad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Exciting Book!
Review: This was my very favorite book when I was a young child. My aunt gave me a copy of this for my birthday and it was personalized with my name. Instead of "Ned" having all those adventures, it was me! My personalized copy disappeared years ago when I left home, but now my children love this book as much as I do.
