As soon as I picked up this book I couldn't help but start humming the song. It was one of those infectious songs of recent years and is still popular now.
The book is the song words and they are accompanied by photographs of children clapping and dancing along. The photographs have been cleverly selected, featuring children from all cultures and backgrounds and all with fantastic smiles.
Although I can't say this is one of those children books that I would give as a gift and that I would imagine being treasured and reread each night, and saved to pass on to their children in years to come, it is one that would be great for circle time in settings to assist discussion about feelings etc.
I received this book in return for an honest review fro the publishers, Puffin Books.
