I found this book to be very engaging。 My 5 and 3 year olds enjoyed the story and found it silly。 I did notice a typo, but didn’t notice a page number, however typo said funDfun, I believe。 The illustrations fit the story and the rhyming helped keep my children interested, while also making the story funny and showing ways you can help get yourself out of a bad mood。
Kaye,
Cute children's picture book。 A boy wakes up with a frown and searches for his giggle。 Told with colorful illustrations and rhyming verse the boy figures out that when he can't find his giggle he can still help others be happy。 And when he and his dog help others, surprisingly he finds his giggle。 This is a sweet book with a nice moral。 I thought from the description it might talk a bit more about how it is okay to be sad or down。 Good for younger aged children and I could see myself reading to Cute children's picture book。 A boy wakes up with a frown and searches for his giggle。 Told with colorful illustrations and rhyming verse the boy figures out that when he can't find his giggle he can still help others be happy。 And when he and his dog help others, surprisingly he finds his giggle。 This is a sweet book with a nice moral。 I thought from the description it might talk a bit more about how it is okay to be sad or down。 Good for younger aged children and I could see myself reading to Kindergarten and 1st graders in my school library。 Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson: Children's division for an ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
Darcie Jenkins,
What a fantastic social-emotional book for children。 Using the loss of a giggle rather than the concept of sadness helps make this book much more accessible for young children still learning about their own emotions。
Colleen,
My brother has a 2 year old and almost 5 year old。 This book would be perfect for that age group! My brother really enjoys books that rhyme。 The verses in this book rhyme and are very lyrical。 This is the type of book that I'm looking for to purchase for them! I think they would enjoy this one very much。 The illustrations are bright and happy, well done and fun。 The book has a great message。 Its on my list to purchase when available。Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher (Tommy Nelson, Tommy Nels My brother has a 2 year old and almost 5 year old。 This book would be perfect for that age group!

An excellent early years resource for educating about emotions and feelings。We follow a boy's story as he wakes up grumpy, not understanding why, and goes on a search for his giggle。 Children can find words and names for their feelings within the text, as well as learn about how to process emotions and feelings。The boy decides that whilst he is unable to find his giggle that he will help others, which in turn brings about feelings of happiness & pride in himself。Children learn that it's okay to An excellent early years resource for educating about emotions and feelings。We follow a boy's story as he wakes up grumpy, not understanding why, and goes on a search for his giggle。 Children can find words and names for their feelings within the text, as well as learn about how to process emotions and feelings。The boy decides that whilst he is unable to find his giggle that he will help others, which in turn brings about feelings of happiness & pride in himself。Children learn that it's okay to not feel ok, not to worry about it, it's normal。 And some things, like helping others, can bring about change in themselves。Gradually he finds his giggle again。Alongside the wonderful illustrations, this is a fun book to read, while having some brilliant learning points along the way。Thank you Edelweiss+ and Thomas Nelson for the e-arc to review。 。。。more
