(3) PS Illustrated by Lindsey Gardiner. After a joyful little girl ends a verse of the titular song with the direction "clap your hands," a series of animals beg to differ: a dog insists that one should "wave your tail--swirl, twirl!" to express happiness; an elephant prefers to "flap your ears--flip, flap!"; etc. The be-yourself message is well executed, and the candy-colored double-page spreads exude infectious mirth.
