Jan Ormerod has illustrated more than 50 books, this book features her absolutely charming characters Poppy and Max. This animal romp explores the different ways of expressing happiness.
This book is based on the song that everyone knows - now my whole family as my niece has carried this book with her for some three weeks and made everyone that she can read and rhyme and sing the story to her! She is 20 months old now and giggles loudly as she tries to follow along and copy the movements.
Each of the animals on each page has their own means of expressing happiness so you ae drawn into a performance of different facial expressions and contortions whilst singing the words. If you're a human and happy you can clap your hands but as an animal you can also wag your tail, snap your teeth, beat your chest, jump and boing so being an animal is more fun!!
At the end of the day this is a straightforward simple book with excellent colourful and bold illustrations that capture a childs imagination. The illustration is by Jan Omerod.
This book has been around for a while now and you can pick up a copy for about £4.00 new or next to nothing second hand.
