Hardcover, 64 pages; 2009
$9.95
An exuberant guided journal for budding bookworms, Books Make Me Happy follows up the reading-log basics (title, author, favorite bits) with creativity-inspiring prompts to draw a picture based on a book, for example, or to describe the sort of book a dog might like. Parents and kids alike will be tickled by the colorful illustrations sprinkled throughout—sweet, clever, and hilarious reading-themed drawings by children, which are embroidered by the author to give them a homey, old-fashioned feel. (Our favorites include “Find Yourself in a Book,” an image of a dinosaur reading a book titled All About Dinosaurs, and a self-explanatory piece called “Bear Flying in an Airplane Reading a Book.”) Sixteen peel-and-stick bookplates, featuring the aforementioned artwork, complete this kid-friendly keepsake. What a wonderful way to foster an early appreciation for books! For ages 6 and up.
