Review: You'll Be Happy You Got This!

Happy Animals isn't a literary masterpiece, in fact the book has no storyline at all.  Hawksley's most basic picture book simply has the word Happy, then insert the name of the animal pictured on each page as the rest of the text.  Occasionally a few extra words are added to I guess break up the repetition such as Happy Big Grey Elephant.  The lack of plot or even text isn't a downside though, it actually works well here when combined with fun happy basically drawn cartoon style animals. This book would definitely help the younger end of the picture book child demographic learn to read or to learn the names of various animals.  I've read most of Hawksley's picture books, this is one of his best!
