PreS-Gr 1-Poor Ducky always seems to attract bad luck. No matter how hard he tries, things just don't seem to come out right. In an attempt to improve his fortune, he decides to visit the park to look for a four-leaf clover. But instead, he meets Piggy, Bunny, and Pup and realizes that he has found his luck in something far more important! The author's bright, cheery illustrations help to convey Ducky's upbeat disposition in spite of his many mishaps. This sweet, simple story carries a much deeper message that even though unpleasant things happen to all of us, having a positive outlook, and the support of friends, can help us make lemons into lemonade. VERDICT A very pleasing addition to most picture book collections.
