Lucky is a loveable little puppy who lives with Mrs. Poppyset and his brothers, Shortstuff and Rags, under the "H" of the "Hollywood" sign in Los Angeles, California. As Lucky scampers about in his world, however, he seems to always be going in the opposite direction of Mrs. Poppyset's other two adorable dogs. But that doesn't matter to William T. Stagent, the Hollywood agent who passes Mrs. Poppyset's yard one day and sees the puppies playing. He convinces Mrs. Poppyset that her three dogs would be perfect for the "Bow-Wow-Chow-Now commercials on TV and whisks them off to the Parapup Studios where the puppies begin shooting their very first commercial. But look out, Hector the Director has no patience with Lucky and calls in the lovely Leslie, famous TV animal trainer to solve the mystery of Mrs. Poppyset's "opposite-direction" dog. Leslie is just about to assure Hector when suddenly, everyone's life is in danger. It's lucky that Lucky is on the scene to save the day and become the hero he was always meant to be. Follow Lucky's story in this delightful paperback book illustrated by the talented UK artist, Julie Parker. Written for children ages 5-8 by left-handed author, Billie Kelpin, "Lucky..." will empower your left-handed child and touch the hearts of all children who see the world a little differently than most.

"Lucky, the left-pawed puppy, was a Hollywood dog. He lived in Mrs. Poppset's house beneath the "H" of the gigantic Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, California. Lucky, however, didn't appear to be all that lucky. From the time he was born, Lucky seemed to be going in the wrong direction. When Lucky and his brothers, Shortstuff and Rags, ran to catch Frisbees, Lucky always ended up on the side of the yard where the Frisbee wasn't. When Lucky's brothers approached a tree from one side, Lucky approached the tree from the other side and always someone's head was bumped. And at the end of each day, when it was time to sleep in Mrs. Poppyset's bed, Lucky cuddled on the side that was opposite Mrs. Poppyset's front."
