Every book on happiness I read raves about the value of being thankful. Once again, Todd Parr takes on a worthy subject and brings to it the simplicity and wisdom of a child. Beautiful illustrations and brilliant observations. I will share this with my thirty-two classes of primary children next week, just in time for Thanksgiving. I'm confident they will love it, too. I'm confident as well that teachers will be lined up to check it out. I love books by Todd Parr. This, like the others, are short, colorful, and fun. The illustrations are simple yet succinct. This is perfect for emerging readers. Their concentration is usually short and easily diverted by complicated illustrations. My son read this book all by himself. The words are short and simple. The concept is being grateful for every day niceties like hair (fun picture, by the way).Highly recommend for the emerging reader.
