A young boy and his parents are going to visit his Aunt Ruth for the day. His sister cannot go because she got sick, but that leaves him the whole back seat. The whole day is filled with similar instances when someone feels frustrated with their bad luck. But each instance becomes an opportunity for something positive for the boy, even rain, flat tires, and spiders!

WHAT LUCK! will charm young readers with its simple illustrations and fun story. In the hands of author Mary House, luck becomes a state of mind determined by one's perception. Whatever others consider negative, the young boy turns into positive. WHAT LUCK! becomes a refreshing spin on the axiom, "Is the glass is half full, or half empty?" In addition, Annie Applefield's charming illustrations bring the story alive. Great fun! Very highly recommended.
