PS
Lilting rhyme presents one hundred happy-making things: "Baby toes / A puppy's nose / Sticky glue / The city zoo." Each vignette is illustrated with pictures of smiley kids of different ethnicities following their bliss. Some items are concrete and easily pictured ("Flip-flops / Lollipops") while others ("Saturday"; "Daydream") capture a feeling. Contented facial expressions and relaxed postures abound as children play, snuggle, and twirl.
