About This Book
In Steve Light's "Lucky Lazlo," young Lazlo carefully selects a red rose to present to his favorite performer, an actress in an "Alice in Wonderland" play. His sweet gesture takes an unexpected turn when a mischievous cat snatches the rose, leading Lazlo on a spirited chase through the vibrant, chaotic backstage area of the theater. This charming chapter book, suitable for ages 4-11, is a delightful read-aloud that celebrates determination, the magic of theater, and the simple joy of giving. It's a lighthearted story perfect for sparking conversations about perseverance and the excitement of live performance.
Lazlo chooses a red rose and ventures to the theater to present it to the performer he cherishes, only to have the rose grabbed by a mischievous cat who races around backstage, past actors dressed as characters from Alice in Wonderland.
