This is THE CUTEST book!!! I bought this for my niece and nephew (5 and 3 years old), as they dance every time they hear the Happy song. Actually, it's the only time when they don't fight! It's filled with so much color, fun patterns/pictures, and I love the diversity in all the kid models! I think I might even like it more than they do! Definitely recommend this book! :D
While the book is adorable, I didn't read far enough to realize it is literally the lyrics of the song on pages. Impossible to just "read" but fun nonetheless! the photos of children are cheerful and colorful.
My toddler is absolutely obsessed with the "Happy" song. Did you know there's a 24-hour "Happy" music video? Neither did I, until my son randomly heard Happy on the radio and began insisting we listen to it all day, every day. Seriously, we play the 24-hour music video every waking moment of every day. I now tell time in Pharrell Hours (at the top of every hour of the music video, Pharrell is on). I've forgotten what other music sounds like. It's my son's favorite everything: song, show, color, food, animal--If you ask him what his favorite of any of these is, the answer is Happy. Always Happy. And he hasn't even seen Despicable Me 2.Anyway, if you have a toddler as obsessed with Happy as mine, this book is a must. Now we not only listen to Happy on repeat even minute of the day, we also read the book version anywhere from 10-75 times per day. The lyrics of the song are written in fun, bold letters on the pages, and there are pictures of cute kids in festive outfits. We discuss the lyrics (well of course) plus what the kids are doing and wearing. This book is also a good way to learn the lyrics of the song (although not as good as listening to the song on repeat until it's burned into your brain).
A truly delightful book - it made me smile, over and over again! - written by a guy who knows about "Happy" and can share it! I admire Pharrell and I enjoyed and RECOMMEND his book - to parents, grandparents, nursery schools, kindergartens, and children's rooms in hospitals - it really will make YOU "Happy"!!
Played song while reading book to my grandson fantastic positive message!
Even though the book is basically the lyrics of Pharell's song "Happy" the photographs behind the lyrics helps my 4 year old daughter remember which line she's "reading". The book has helped inspire her to learn to read and that alone has paid for the book. We initially borrowed the book from the library but she loved it so much that I bought a copy for her. No regrets.
Iâve seen picture books before based on famous poems, but Iâve never seen a book based on song lyrics before, and my family loves it! The text is taken from the upbeat, well-known song, âHappyâ by Pharrell Williams, which has won numerous major awards (which are well-deserved). The full-page photos show (happy) children acting out the lyrics in fun and clever ways. The book concludes with a letter from Williams encouraging children to help others be happy, too. Itâs a wonderful and empowering thought, especially alongside the lyrics of the song/book. My family has been listening to the song over and over while flipping through the pages, singing and dancing and having a blast!
Absolutely adorable book. My kids love it. The pictures are vibrant and cheerful and I always feel a sense of happiness as I read the letter from Pharrell to my kids at the end. I've bought multiple copies of this book just to give out as gifts.
