The Happy Book Made Glenwood Look

Melanie Gilbert & Snip Francis have created something Great! The Happy Book made us look now it seems we can't wait. This book has no competition, Just melody and repetition. Open it up and you will see, what Glenwood students saw with me. They saw stars and they saw light, and they saw hope peer through the night. They saw pictures they saw rhythum... "Snip & Gilbert" know what to give them. Books with looks and lots of hooks, instead of rapps with Gangsters and crooks. From the school yard to the stable they read books happy books. That's what kids really need...One great book many great deeds. They listened closely as Gilbert recited "The ENTIRE Book!" the children ignited! It made them happy it made them elated, with each page she read they anticipated. A book that's written with an ancient depth, Like poetry it set us free. Watch out now! Watch Out! Mother Goose, "The Happy Book" has just got loose. Yes the "Hey Look! Happy Book" really made boys and girls at Glenwood School perk up and listen the other day. From the 2nd grader to the 8th grader this book and it's authors (Gilbert & Francis) made a diversified group of kids get mesmerized by the contents. The book is also color filled. Perfect for Glenwood students who are a well mixed group of children from Hispanic, Black and White communities all over the Chicagoland suburbs. The book is limitless with no boundaries that could even prevent a well seasoned college educated nursery rhyme veteran like me from not perking up and reading. I highly recommend it and give it 8 ******** Stars.

Loved it!

I had the opportunity to meet the authors at a book signing a few months ago. They are a joy to be with, totally energetic and love kids. "The Happy Book" is a reflection of their attitudes. The book has paper puppets you cut out, and they each match a certain item on each page of the book. As you read, your child finds the puppet that matches, which they (oddly) never tire of. Fun and uplifting for parent and child.

Happy Book Rocks!

This book is totally cool! I bought this book for my 6 yr. old son who just became a new big brother. The Happy Book made him feel special even with a new baby in the house. The puppets in the back kept him busy...2 big thumbs up from a grateful dad.
