Lucky Tucker

March 1, 2008
PreS-Tucker adds a St. Patrick's Day story to his previous Christmas and Halloween adventures. At first, March 17 isn't so lucky for the perky white pooch who must endure a walk in the rainBEFORE breakfastand a black cat hisses at him. So he decides to roll in a bed of four-leaf clovers to change his fortune. A leprechaun who is watching works his magic, and Tucker finds himself the happy recipient of a falling scoop of ice cream, homemade dog biscuits, and a box of dog toys. And best of allno bath tonight! This story doesn't have much of a plot, but it's hard not to like this cheerful pup who is determined to have a good day. Simple, bright pictures illustrate the canine's playful activities and will appeal to young children. Introduce fans of Clifford the Big Red Dog to this little charmer."Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT"
