SMILE :-)

What an adoreable, sweet, uplifting, simple little book!!! Shopping for the holidays and feeling a little bit down, it was fate that caused me to notice this book at the book store and pick it up. Well, after scanning through this gem of a book, my "blue day" was gone and I again had a spring in my step and a smile on my face!!Oh yes, this book seems simple with short cliches placed to just the perfect pictures. That's what the beauty of this book is.This book is a must for every coffee table. You never know when someone visiting your home needs a little lift but just doesn't want to talk to anyone about it. Life is about sharing smiles and this cute little book will definitely help you do that. :-)

Wonderful and uplifting!

A co-worker of mine bought this book for another one of our co-workers who is out of work with a very serious illness. We passed it around the office before sending it to her, and it brightened all of our days! It was the most adorable and hilarious book that I have ever had the pleasure of reading! I would definately recommend it as a gift to any adult. We can all easily relate to the passages!

Which comes first, a photo or a poem?

Or I would ask you which you prefer, reading a poem or looking at a photo. In this book, you'll find you can enjoy both of them very easily. You can hear sweet songs which are played in this book by both poems and photos. Actually I was so depressed when I got this book in my hands. I felt blue when I started looking into the bluish pages where I found funny looking animals with somewhat humanlike expression. Reading the sentences along these photos I felt somthing tickling inside myself. I felt like smiling. I couldn't help giggling. I felt so happy in the end. That's all I want to tell all of you who have some interest in this book. You must try it.

A smile on every page - just what I needed!

If you're bored or sad or feeling lonely or just down, this is the perfect fix. With a cute animal photo and a brief sentence on every page, this book helps you see that everyone has bad days and that tomorrow promises wonderful new things. The black and white pictures are works of art and the captions match them perfectly. This book made me smile and laugh and cry. I received it as a gift from a good friend and I want to run out and buy copies for everyone I know who has ever felt down and out! A great gift idea!

Magnificent!

This little book is witty, original, and impactfully put together. The juxtaposition of great photographs and a deceptively simple commentary gives rise to a true masterpiece. Our kids loved as much as we did! Can't wait for the next installment!
