A quick 3 minute listen at the end of a hard, tiring day。 Took me back to 1997, my kindergarten days。 Made me feel loved and protected in a nostalgic way。I found a new affirmation to lift my spirits。You're my happy。 <3 A quick 3 minute listen at the end of a hard, tiring day。 Took me back to 1997, my kindergarten days。 Made me feel loved and protected in a nostalgic way。I found a new affirmation to lift my spirits。You're my happy。 <3 。。。more

Sweet lovely rhyming story of looking for the happy and good in everything。 Even as a parent reading this to my daughter, it reminded me how much I need to continually be aware of this。 The illustrations are so beautiful。 And the best page is at the end when they are grateful for each other。 Beautiful book。

I can’t seem to get through this one without choking up; my son can hardly get through the first two pages。 Shrug。

Erin Darmody

Cute art but kind of obscure for a children’s book that also talks about wobbly legs。 Very cuddly for bedtime tho

A mother bear recounts to her young one the events and moments throughout the day that made her happy。 She mentions "special friends who made me giggle" and "even learning from mistakes" as moments that made her happy。 She ends by telling her cub "Every night and all day through, the one I'm thankful for is you。" A mother bear recounts to her young one the events and moments throughout the day that made her happy。 She mentions "special friends who made me giggle" and "even learning from mistakes" as moments that made her happy。 She ends by telling her cub "Every night and all day through, the one I'm thankful for is you。" 。。。more

“Let’s settle down, my snuggle bug。” Hoda Kotb has such a way of making time reading with your little one cozy and blissful。

In rhyming text, a loving mama or papa bear (there’s no indicated gender) shares all the things that made him/her happy that day while the baby bear does the same。 And each stanza ends with “That’s what made me happy” and eventually, “You are my happy。” Most of the scenes are the closing of the day with the sun going down, which made even me feel like cuddling up in bed。 It will be a wonderful nighttime book。 In fact, we’re told that the book was inspired by the author’s bedtime routine with her In rhyming text, a loving mama or papa bear (there’s no indicated gender) shares all the things that made him/her happy that day while the baby bear does the same。 And each stanza ends with “That’s what made me happy” and eventually, “You are my happy。” Most of the scenes are the closing of the day with the sun going down, which made even me feel like cuddling up in bed。 It will be a wonderful nighttime book。 In fact, we’re told that the book was inspired by the author’s bedtime routine with her daughter。 The artist used Adobe Photoshop to create the digital illustrations for this book。For more children's literature, middle grade literature, and YA literature reviews, feel free to visit my personal blog at The Miller Memo! 。。。more

A mother bear and her baby review the day and the things that make them happy from Hoda Kotb, co-anchot of the Today show。In this cozy, loving book by the co-host of the Today show a baby bear and his mother review the things that made them happy that day。

BERNARD ANEIS

Important theme with entertaining illustrations The illustrations are very entertaining。 The theme, to me, was that one should take the time to recognize the contribution their partner makes to improve their life。 Also to give details so their knows what they are doing right。 Hopefully that will result in even more enjoyment out of life。

AdorableReminds me to count my blessings when I read this。 Great teaching tool! It says starting at 4, but my 2 year old grand babies like it。 The illustrations are lovely!

This book is beautifully written and illustrated。 Worthy of gift giving, it is a lovely story to be shared between parent and child。 Hoda Kotb writes Children's Books from the heart that exemplify the Parent Child bond。 Recommend it as a must have for any Child's beginning Library。 This book is beautifully written and illustrated。 Worthy of gift giving, it is a lovely story to be shared between parent and child。 Hoda Kotb writes Children's Books from the heart that exemplify the Parent Child bond。 Recommend it as a must have for any Child's beginning Library。 。。。more

Simple rhyming text combine with beautiful illustrations, although there's not a lot of story line。 Essentially, a mama and her cub are discussing all the things they enjoyed doing that day。 This is a nice bedtime story to discuss what fun things you did together today that made you happy。 Simple rhyming text combine with beautiful illustrations, although there's not a lot of story line。 Essentially, a mama and her cub are discussing all the things they enjoyed doing that day。 This is a nice bedtime story to discuss what fun things you did together today that made you happy。 。。。more

Sweet and tender bedtime rhymes。 Mama Bear helps Baby Bear count his blessings and find the things that make her happy by reminding him of the day's experiences and things to be thankful for。 A little awkward at times, but overall very comforting。 Sweet and tender bedtime rhymes。 Mama Bear helps Baby Bear count his blessings and find the things that make her happy by reminding him of the day's experiences and things to be thankful for。 A little awkward at times, but overall very comforting。 。。。more

#ReadToNiblingI was very dubious about Yet Another Celebrity-Authored Picture Book, but this one is actually quite sweet and well-done。  It's a bedtime story, reflecting on what has made the baby bear happy throughout the day, with rhyming text that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard and lovely illustrations。  (I have a particular soft spot for the fact that the litany of the day includes, "and even learning from mistakes。")The titular punchline is that the baby bear is what the adult bear i #ReadToNiblingI was very dubious about Yet Another Celebrity-Authored Picture Book, but this one is actually quite sweet and well-done。  It's a bedtime story, reflecting on what has made the baby bear happy throughout the day, with rhyming text that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard and lovely illustrations。  (I have a particular soft spot for the fact that the litany of the day includes, "and even learning from mistakes。")The titular punchline is that the baby bear is what the adult bear is most grateful for -- which feels a bit much to me, but I'll allow it for purposes of a children's goodnight book。 。。。more
