"This is outstanding. My daughter picked this book on a day when I was finding it particularly difficult to be grateful. I now have the opening pages quoted on my desk. She and I laughed and laughed and laughed as we read through the pages. Well done Dr. Seuss! "

" My brother & I were talking about this recently. When I was little, this was my favorite Dr. Seuss book. I was fascinated by all of the ways people could be unlucky. Especially memorable was the pour soul who had to climb up all kinds of stairs to get to his bathroom. "

— Christine, 1/4/2014 -
" I had this book as a child. And I loved it. And despite my father's tendency towards saving everything, I don't seem to have this in my collection any longer. But I think this book ranks up there with Solla Sollew, and I LOVE that book! "

" I absolutely LOVED this book as a child. My sister used to read it to me. My favorite part is how the one boy mows the lawn and the more that he mows it, the faster it grows. Absolute classic Seuss. :-) "

" Dr. Seuss, always amazing :) "
— Michelle, 2/7/2011 -
" 'Twas my brother's favorite book. He was so little he called it "Lucky Yar" and asked for it first every reading time. I bet he liked the part about France & the pants the best. It could have had a very formative effect on his life :). "
— Kim, 1/11/2011 -

— Bonnie, 7/22/2010 -
" Perhaps my favorite Dr. Seuss. "Just tell yourself, Ducky, you're really quite lucky. Some people are much more, oh ever so much more, so muchly much much more unlucky than you!" At least I've never taken my Thromdibulator apart.... "
— Erika, 7/14/2010 -
" I keep this one in the seating area of my office! "
— Miss, 7/9/2010 -
" Did I Ever Lucky You Are? is about an old man sitting on a cactus telling a boy that he shouldn't be sad because his life is a lot easier than some other peoples' lives. One example is a person who has to mow a giant lawn with a tiny lawnmower. It was a good book. "
— Acton, 6/9/2010 -
" This book was kind of a disappointment. Not one of my favorite Seuss books by far. Glad it was just a library book. Alex always manages to grab one or two Seuss's from the library. He didn't really like it either. "
— Sydney, 4/21/2010 -
" Basically goes through some silly examples of people in unlucky (imaginary) situations in hopes of proving how lucky we are. Perhaps useful to read to an ingrate, but I doubt it. Still, gotta love Dr. Seuss. "
— Libby, 2/20/2010 -
" One of my favorite books to read to my daughters. Reminds us all of how fortunate we are, or lucky as the title says... it actually says it all... duh! "
— David, 1/26/2010 -
" This book is a lot of fun. My students always love to listen to me get tongue-tied reading it to them, and looking at the pictures. It becomes a fun game for them. "
— Angela, 1/19/2010 -
" We've been reading this book as part of our discussion about gratitude leading up to Thanksgiving. Nice lesson in a fun-Seuss style. "
