Lovely book!
By Carol Crawford
This is a lovely book! I bought it for my grandson, who will be 16 months old at Christmas. The illustrations are simple and engaging, and all the text does is name them. No story line, but the naming is done in rhymes. I fondly remember reading to my own children and older grandchildren when they were that age. More than listening to the story, they liked pointing at a picture and proudly announcing what it was. So I think this youngest grandchild will love the book. I suspect his older siblings will also enjoy it (and he will too when he's older) just because the rhymes are so simple and it is so well illustrated.

By Sunshine on A Rainy Day
This story lists and illustrates 100 things that can make kids happy such as submarines, jellybeans, white snow and cookie dough. There is no story, just a couple of words with each colorful illustration.This book is advertized for ages 3-6. This is an excellent age range for this story. The book is a little long for the littlest ones, but it can certainly be read in more than one sitting. This book would be great for several things; Celebrating 100th day, a conversation starter before making your own lists of what makes you happy, or an early reader book (due to the simple text that is highly illustrated).This book promotes a positive outlook which gets it a five stars in my perspective!

A Buoyant, Positive Book
By L. M. Keefer
It's always great to focus on favorite things in life which make us happy. If your child has a good attention span, and likes to look at colorful pictures and listen to rhymes, she/he should enjoy this book. You can get into some interesting conversation with this book. You could also do a unit on happiness in preschool or kindergarten, and have the students listen to it and write down some of the things in the book which make them happy, too. Then draw pictures of some of the things which make them happy. Or write a group story about what makes each person happy. Could be a 5-star read for the right child who doesn't need a plot.
