Buzz on Books #27


Having a happy, smiling child is one of the best things for a parent. But the question is, how can I make the child happy? In a recently new book by Scott Menchin, Taking a Bath with the Dog and Other Things that Make Me Happy asks the question 'what makes you happy?' After asking several people and creatures, the little girls decides what makes her happy. And boy, does she have a list. The final activity that she lists in the book is taking a bath with her dog. Perhaps some of these favorite activities also are favorite's of children you know.

The second book for this week is also a new one, titled How Do You Make a Baby Smile? by Philemon Sturges. This rhyming text describes how silly things animals do can make a baby smile. From making one smile like Papa Crocodile to making a baby laugh by twisting your neck like Papa Giraffe, this books has ways to make your baby coo all through the day.

These books and great others can be found on the New Books shelf in the Children's Place of the Twinsburg Public Library!
