Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 2^-5. With an easy rhyme and lots of clear, detailed line-and-watercolor pictures, the Anholts once again dramatize the small child's daily life. Like Shirley Hughes' illustrations, the pictures here can be starting points for kids to talk about themselves. They will absorb vocabulary and concepts as they are caught up in the stories. This time the focus is on feelings. Six boys and girls, including a set of twins, express what makes them happy, scared, jealous, shy, excited, sad ("No one wants to let me play. Someone special's far away" ). The scenes are sometimes intense, sometimes light, often mischievous. "What makes me bored? Grown-ups . . . moaning groaning eating meeting walking talking." Hazel Rochman

This made me happy,
By Susan (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Makes Me Happy? (Paperback)
This is a lovely book. It's not only about happiness, but about what makes kids feel sad, excited, bored and other primary emotions. I read it with my two and a half year old son and he loved the illustrations and the rhyming text. Most pages have several intricate drawings which bear close examination. And of course, reading a book about feelings is a great way to discuss feelings with your child.
5.0 out of 5 stars
What makes me happy,
This review is from: What Makes Me Happy? (Hardcover)
I have read this book to a very young child and can see it is applicable to a wide age range even into the primary school years. A truly lovely read with good descriptions of emotions.
