Actually, this is the original
Rating:
5 / 5
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.
The title of this book was changed to be Politically Correct
Rating:
4 / 5
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!
Fond memories, still a great book

5 / 5
At 47 years of age I wondered if I'd find this book that I was so fond of when I was in 1st grade. Now, with a first grader of my own, I was delighted to find this wonderful book still in print. Our daughter has enjoyed it as much as I did when I was her age. It's a great story with lot's of laughs. If you have a K-grader or 1st grader you will not be dissapointed with the laughs and giggles this book brings.
