I Love It When You Smile

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Charles Fuge. When Roo the kangaroo wakes up in a bad mood, his mother tries all sorts of tricks to make him smile. Nothing works, until she tumbles by mistake into a mud hole, leaving them both covered with muck. At last, Roo can't help but smile. Expressive illustrations and lively typeface amplify the story's slapstick humor.
