Author: Yaccarino, Dan

Edition: Brdbk

Number Of Pages: 22

Details:

In Big Berry, the subject is one that every child can relate to, the gimmes—and why the hero Bink should be happy with what she has. HAPPYLAND introduces three friends—Bink, Clyde, and Glub-Glub—in a series of delightful adventures that illustrate issues including sharing, gratitude, and worry. There’s nothing more important for little kids entering preschool than to be emotionally ready—ready to separate from their parents, to mix and play with new children, to broaden their sense of the world. HAPPYLAND, from award-winning children’s author Dan Yaccarino, is the board book series that gives kids, and their parents, the language they need to take these emotional steps.   From School Library Journal Toddler-PreS—This new series features three friends—Glub-Glub, a fish; Clyde, a dog; and Bink, a bird—who learn different lessons about life. Calling itself "a little moral story," each book focuses on a specific issue. For example, in Rainy Day, readers discover that Glub-Glub does not like the rain. His face conveys his feelings perfectly as he gets dressed in his yellow raincoat. Once he is outside, he runs into his friends playing in the rain and puddles. Glub-Glub realizes that maybe the rain isn't so bad after all as he joins them in the fun. Bright graphic illustrations allow for the tales to be told without referencing the text. A good choice for both storytimes and one-on-one sharing.

Reviews:

"Yaccarino makes smart use of his limited text—his wordless spreads say quite a bit about his characters’ feelings—and his clean, brightly colored cartooning and lightly delivered message will make readers want to spend more time with this trio."
