To a child, joy comes in the simplest of forms. With this in mind Cyndy Szekeres offers this happy collection of verses, filled with her delightful animals. For reading and sharing together, these poems remind all families what children already know: that life is filled with wonderful things -- we just have to know where to look for them.
