Review # 1 was written on 2009-04-26 00:00:00 Peter Jones Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, How I love this book. It had been lost in my sea of to-read books until a (non-Goodreads) friend mentioned it to me last night. Fortunately, my branch library had a copy on their shelves and I borrowed it this morning. (Unfortunately, I'll have to return the book since the library owns it and I don't own a copy.) I think this book is hilarious. The story with happenings that go between fortunately and unfortunately (good luck vs. bad luck) is very funny and the accompanying illustrations are wonderful and perfectly fit the story. From the sun being half covered and smothered by a cloud to the finale, this book is highly entertaining. I love children's picture books where the author/illustrator are one; their talents amaze me. Given one occurrence in the book, I think that this book would make a wonderful birthday present.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-30 00:00:00 Pia Hilton This was such an imaginative, exciting and funny book. I really liked the humour and the far fetched scenarios. A boy received an invitation to a birthday party but unfortunately it was a long way away. Fortunately he borrows his friends plane but unfortunately the engine blows up. The rest of the book alternates between fortunately and unfortunately with a lovely surprise ending! The illustrations are beautiful, colourful and humorous this would make such a fun book to read with a child! This would make a great birthday present. Read on openlibrary
