Lucky and Squash is a 2012 American children's book written by Jeanne Birdsall and illustrated with watercolor paintings by Jane Dyer published by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. The two eponymous characters are dogs based on Birdsall's and Dyer's actual dogs, Cagney and Scuppers, a Boston Terrier and a Tibetan Terrier respectively. Lucky and Squash received generally positive reviews. A School Library Journal article praises Birdsall's writing, describing the story as funny, sweet, heartwarming, and suspenseful. A Publishers Weekly review refers to Lucky and Squash as almost being "Emma meets Ferris Bueller's Day Off with wagging tails" and states that Birdsall's "genial, intimate storytelling instantly establishes a bond with readers". A Booklist reviewer compares the story's dog characters to Pyramus and Thisbe, lovers in Ovid's Metamorphoses who, frustrated by being separated by a wall, conspire to run away together. An article in Kirkus Reviews calls the illustrations charming and says that they "have all the clever details that are Dyer's signature touch". (en) |
