A very sweet little story about how a rabbit perseveres a tough world! There were some words and phrases that might be challenging for kiddos to grasp onto, but the art style was beautiful and different situations Lucky finds himself in were exciting. I think this one is a great story for kids who love rabbits, especially if they live in an area with a lot of wild bunnies!

I work in a library in an area with a lot of wild rabbits, I think this would be an engaging read for some of the kids in the area who might be curious about what these little critters get up to.

A sweet story about perseverance and a little bit of luck—plus a cute rabbit to boot!

Meet Lucky, a young cottontail rabbit who leaves his mother’s warm, cozy nest to make it on his own. Lucky enough to find a yard without a dog, Lucky thinks he’s set. Until a perilous encounter with a hawk, then a cat, and finally some ticks—what will Lucky deal with next? Thanks to his tell-tale perseverance and a little help from his human guardian angel, will Lucky live to hop another day?

They Call Me Lucky teaches kids the power of not giving up in the face of adversity. No matter what problems Lucky faced, Lucky had no choice but to keep moving forward. The story also highlights another important lesson: the ability to accept help when you need it. In this case, from a kind, human companion.

These two lessons in and of themselves are great for read-alouds at home or at school. Especially for any kids that love animals (and who doesn’t love a cute rabbit?). They’ll be rooting for Lucky from start to finish.

Please note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review through Reedsy Discovery. You can read my full review here.

This is one of those books, which has a tale to be read again and again and again.

Lucky is just another cottontail baby until the day comes when Lucky leaves the nest. The world outside holds many wonderful things but also more than a few obstacles and dangers.

Warmth, nature, and a little adventure make this into a read to get lost in. Lucky is a super, cute, baby bunny, which will already win over the hearts of many young readers. When Lucky steps out into the world, it's fun to explore the world with the small bunny. Young readers will easily identify with Lucky and have no trouble sinking into each scene. Each adventure and danger comes from real life situations bunnies face, and while they are tense enough to hold readers' attentions, they still remain age appropriate.

The illustrations are made with love and care, sticking to a clear, hand-made atmosphere. It's soothing to peer through them and join Lucky in his adventure just through each scene. I can see this one becoming a member of the bedtime read stack. I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed the tale
