PS
Elephant's grumpy mood dissolves after he finds a box of hats on his doorstep. Cheered, he shares them with each of his friends, lifting their sour moods as well. Clean, richly colored illustrations feature an accumulating procession of upbeat animals, and the contrasting refrains ("GO AWAY! I'M GRUMPY!"; "HOORAY FOR HAT!") emphasize the larger message of the power of sharing one's joy.
