5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully illustrated cliffhanger from 1964,
This review is from: Fortunately (Paperback)
Ned has been invited to a surprise party in Florida. Unfortunately, Ned lives in New York. So it begins...as Ned travels in an airplane only to have the plane explode as he falls from the sky in a parachute that has a hole in it. Ned is fine. This book is illustrated beautfully and simply. The word "Fortunately" tells the tale of how Ned extricates himself from each unfortunate event. The word "unfortunately" begins the unfortunate event. The fortunate pages are in color and the unfortunate pages in black and white. Of course Ned ultimately ends up at the party. He is never hurt although he comes close. After receiving this book, I read it before sitting down with my 4 year old son. The "unfortunate" pages provoked a LOT of discussion about what was happening to Ned and would he be hurt. This type of "cliffhanger" is entirely new to my 4 year old who reads only books, so far, where nobody is hurt or injured. Fortunately, Ned is "saved" by turning the page and all ends well. I think this book scares my son and I have put it away for now. This book is probably better for children older than 3 or 4.

Fond memories, still a great book,
By Book Wormer (Cameron Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fortunately (Paperback)
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars
THE most fun kids' book - even more than Dr. Seuss!!!,

This review is from: Fortunately (Paperback)
If you only have one book in childhood or as a parent, this is the one... my 24 year old daughter STILL laughs at this. Only regret - that I didn't audio or video record her at 2-3 years old when she had memorized the whole book - what I wouldn't pay to hear that precious little voice again saying "what Bad Luck, the MOTOR EXPLODED!!! what GOOD LUCK, there was a Parachute in the airplane!" " Some of the best moments of her toddlerhood and my life ever were spent reading this book!
