Have you ever had one of those days when it seemed like nothing was going right? When you encountered a string of bad luck? I think we all have... in fact today is one of those days for me! However, after reading the book The Luckiest Kid on the Planet by Lisa Campbell Ernst, I realized that it's not the things in life that go good or bad for you, but the important people and the relationship you make with them that make you a lucky person.
Lucky Morgenstern's name says it all... he is a 'lucky' kid! Everything in Lucky's life was good. When he went fishing he caught fish, when he played checkers he won, or when his best friend in the whole, his Grandpa, baked him cookies it was because he was Lucky. Then one day Lucky found a letter in the mail. It was addressed to a Herbert Morgenstern. Lucky had never heard of a Herbert in the family. When he asked his mom who it could be she looked at the letter and said, "It's you." With those two words Lucky's life made a turn for the worst (or so he thought). It wasn't until his Grandfather was sick and in the hospital that Herbert aka Lucky realized that the one lucky thing he always had in his life was his Grandfather.
I loved this book. It was humorous and enjoyable to read. The page layouts and illustrations were cleverly illustrated and the writing was wonderful. I would definitely read more books by this author.
