If You're Happy and You Know It! by Jane Cabrera

Title : If You're Happy and You Know It!
Author/Illustrator: Jane Cabrera
Reading Level: Ages 1 - 5
Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Holiday House

Jane Cabrera brings alive the popular children's song "If You are Happy and You Know It!" with her vibrant, bold illustrations in this wonderful picture book. Monkeys clap their hands, Elephants stamp their feet, Lions roar out load and Birds flap their arms. Like most of her books, the pictures sprawl over double-page spreads and they are enticing enough to send your little ones jumping, clapping, roaring and stamping with delight. 

If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands
If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands
If You're Happy and You Know It 
and You Really want to Show it
If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands...

It was one of my daughter's favorite songs and I was so thrilled to find a picture book about it. We have read it over and over again and its so cute to watch her spring into appropriate action as we turn the pages. I am sure your little copy cat will have hours of fun imitating all the animals. Great workout for Kids! 

One Warning - This is not a bedtime book though, as they could get all hyper reading it. 

My Rating: 4/5
