Just how happy is this puppy? Michael Rosen’s gleeful picture-book gambol follows a jubilant pooch from here to the stars and back.

This puppy is HAPPY! So happy it wants to shout about it! Riding high on a cloud of joy, it wants to sing on a swing, skip through a puddle, and chase after bubbles. With so much happiness in its little heart, what won’t it do? The inimitable Michael Rosen brings his knack for capturing the extremes of toddler moods to this carnival ride of a book, starring a puppy so thrilled with its own happiness, there’s no end to the celebrations. Paired with Robert Starling’s colorful, energetic art, this companion to I Am Hungry—part of a series mapping toddlers’ big emotions—is sure to put silly grins on the faces of parents and children at read-aloud time.
Rosen follows his previous explorations of strong emotions aimed at the very young with a strong depiction of joy that the youngest listeners will understand and identify with. Starling’s mixed-media illustrations of wide-eyed animals exhibiting emotions and using their imaginations are once again an excellent fit with the simple text, written in a bouncy, exuberant verse. . . . A happy hound’s verse, sure to inspire smiles.
—Kirkus Reviews

Rosen has once again teamed up with Starling to continue their picture book ­series (I Am) with this new entry. . . a bright romp.
