My daughter has loved this book from the moment we brought it home! My husband and I love to read it to her. It has such personlity written into each page and the illustrations are beautifully done. McBratney and Fuge are a terrrrrific combo for children's books. I even went back online to find more books written and illustrated by the two because we love this one so much.

Wonderful children's book!

My son got this for his second birthday and we love it. It's such a sweet story and the illustrations are great! It's not really long which is great for us becuase we have trouble getting him to sit still for very long, but it's also not too short either. Get this book for your toddler!

A Sweet Mother and Child Story for Parents and Children to Enjoy Together

Oh no! Little Roo the kangaroo is feeling grumpy. He doesn't know why. He just is. He's so grumpy, he doesn't even feel like playing. Now that's grumpy! His mother is determined to change all that. She wants him to smile and says he'll feel better when he does. She tickles him. No luck. She flips him over her head. No luck. She throws leaves on him. No luck. Nothing she tries is working. Little Roo won't budge a smile. Not until his mother slips him in her pouch and hops, hops, hops and then slips, slips, slips into a muddy hole does Roo do the unthinkable. He actually cracks a grin. I Love It When You Smile is a sweet mother and child story for parents to enjoy with their children. The book is aimed at children ages 2-6 and will dazzle young children and even adults with its illustrations.
