The Happiest Book Ever

(3) K-3 On page one, an omniscient narrator announces the plan: to create "the Happiest Book Ever." If only a gloomy photo of a grumpy-looking frog ("C'mon, Frog, lighten up!") didn't appear on every page amid the bright, happiness-courting thumbnails ("Clouds with faces!"; "Dancing cake!"). This hilarious book will amuse even readers too young to understand its gentle parody of power-of-positive-thinking (over)zealousness.
