I picked up Latke, the Lucky Dog with some anticipation, hoping for a sweet holiday tale about an animal finding a home, and that is just what I got. That said, the text sometimes felt a little clunky to me, and the first-person narration from Latke's perspective was often a little forced. The artwork is colorful and cute, although the human faces (particularly the eyes) were somewhat off-putting to me. This is my first book from author Ellen Fischer, but I have encountered and enjoyed illustrator Tiphanie Beeke's work before, in Julia Rawlinson's picture-books about Fletcher the fox, so I was surprised to find that the visuals didn't strike more of a chord with me. Perhaps Beeke is simply better at depicting animals than humans.
