Long for baby storytime, so I paper clipped most of the pages and just did the 4 or 5 that matched my regular ending song.
February 24, 2017
This sing-a-long book is great for young children. Set to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it," the book travels along finding different animals. The illustrations are beautiful and bright and children are sure to love this book!

If You're Happy and You know it by Jane Cabraea
Audio book but I'm pretty sure the colorful pictures go along with what the people are doing in the pictures.
Children's book about a monkey elephant and a giraffe. Remember playing this song with my grandson
as we did different things. Some silliness and laughter for all.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

A winner for movement storytime! Seriously fun - it worked for baby storytime too. Who can resist the colorful pictures to go along with the classic movement song? One day I shall personally own each of Jane Cabrera's sing-along action books.

This is one part song book and one part children's book, but it is all a ripoff of the classic children's song, so there is no originality here.

Another one I forgot to write up last year. Used in story time. Participation books always are a hit. 8/30/17
Big hit again

A. N/A
B. PreK-1st Grade
C. If You're Happy and You Know It is an upbeat and exciting song that has all the young children engaged and singing along, keeping their spirits high!
D. This song is great because it acknowledges the emotions of young children by repeating if you're happy and you know it clap your hands. It keeps the children engaged by having them use their bodies through clapping throughout the song. This also helps children associate clapping with happiness which is exactly how it should be correlated.
E. Emotions- This can become a lesson on emotions, in this case happiness where children are able to talk about things that make them happy or bring in things that support that emotion.
Following Directions- This song helps children grasp the concept of following directions by having them listen to the song and clap when it asks.

Although this book is a very fun read, and the illustrations are bright and child centered, I just wasn’t as impressed with the book as I thought I would be.
The book goes through the song “if you’re happy and you know it” and the motions, with vigor and intensity. Children will see cute jungle animals acting this song out and it is a very uplifting bright book that would be great for a movement lesson.
The last page showing all the animals and circling back to the movement they did was great, and I loved the repetition especially for young children and language acquisition.

Jack borrowed this book from the Columbus Metropolitan Library. I picked it because he loves this song and jungle animals. We were singing nursery rhymes today, so when I pulled out his library books later, he was primed to enjoy this one. He selected it to read first and started singing the song before I could even read the little introduction. He liked the different animals and was really excited to "dance" by spinning around and jumping like the lemur and frog, respectively. A definite hit.

I honestly really enjoyed this early childhood education book this book would be in a preschool classroom in fact I would really like to purchase this book after reading it I I feel like this would be a lovely addition into my classroom You can sing it the children can participate and interact with this in multiple different modalities They can move their bodies with it and it's a very joyful book I really enjoyed this book I plan on using this as a tool within my classroom

I thought this book was a great play on the old nursery rhyme. This book takes the old nursery rhyme to new heights. This sing along used animals! "If you're happy and you know it, roar out-loud..." I loved this sing along and it would be great for elementary students to be able to express their feelings.

I lost my voice a week ago, but wanted to still have story time with my granddaughter. I found this book at the library (Read Along - Wonder Book). It had the audio read along, so that all I had to was turn the pages. Of course, we mimicked the various ways you show you are happy. This is actually a sing a long and be ready to have some fun when you turn it on.

Bright, colorful animals sing If You're Happy and You Know It! Fun opportunity for interactive read aloud - most of the audience will know that song and the majority of the movements. Great way to get kids up and moving.

We are really enjoying Jane Cabrera's books these days. My kids love singing and nursery rhymes, so we've been enjoying some twists on favourites!
Fun books, fun illustrations. Enjoyable to kids and adults - this one is a good action book!

I actually sang the book.
Great book for storytime or just to read to a group of little ones in order to get them participating!

This was such a cute story! It teaches the children about different animals and also gets them up and moving and interacting as they mimic the different movements the animals make.
January 29, 2018
Discover some new verses to a very familiar tune that will get readers singing, jumping, spinning, and more. Great for rainy days, getting out some lingering wiggles, or getting theatrical.

Great for 2-3 year old storytimes! Kids get to act out and be silly!

A great read aloud to groups to expand on the original song and get kids active and moving.

What a fun version of the song. And a fun way to learn various animals along the way.

My 3 year old loves it. We have a great time with this one

The ending ruined it; the point of reading this book is that children excitedly know what to expect next. Donate pile.

Cute emotions storytime pick. 14 month old liked it.
June 22, 2024
I loved this book! It’s just happy vibes. I feel like this would be better for a 9-12month who can do the dance with you. But it’s still a great book for happy times.
