Review and Giveaway: If You're Groovy and You Know It, Hug a Friend! by Eric Litwin and Tom Lichtenheld

9780545883801

$9.99

You are looking at an instant story time hit here! Set to the tune and pattern of "If You're Happy and You Know It," this book will have both kids and parents singing - and moving - along from the first page. 

Song rewrites can get a little stale, but Litwin's changes and Lichtenheld's smiling critters add a freshness and whimsy that are just right. Beginning with, "If you're groovy and you know it, greet the day," the duo then invite us to laugh and play, go explore...and of course read a book!

The natural extension is to ask your audience (as Joe does on the last page), "What makes your day groovy?"

So, that's my question for you! What makes your day groovy? Grabbing coffee with a friend? Playing board games with your kids? Scaling Mt. Everest? I want to hear it! Add your answer in the comments, and you will automatically be entered into a random drawing for a copy of the book, signed by Mr. Eric himself!

Winner will be drawn and announced back here on Friday, September 21. While you are waiting, grab yourself a bunch of kiddos and let them make up their own verses to add to the song. Then get out and see how many of them you can cram into a day!

***The randomly selected winner was post #2, "Watching kids get excited about new books"! I will be e-mailing you for an address! Thank-you everyone!
