It's Lovely When You Smile By Sam McBratney and Charles Fuge
Penguin, £5.99
ROO is in a bad mood. He's having a bad day. Not even his mum can cheer him up.
She tries everything, throwing him in the air, playing hide-and-seek, offering him food, even juggling, but nothing is going to work.
It's a feeling every parent, and every little one, will relate to!
But it's nothing that accidentally "slippety", sliding down a hill and slopping into good, old-fashioned mud can't cure.
This book is wonderful to read to young children, with beautiful illustrations and, of course, a feel-good happy ending.
You can't help feeling the world would be a better place if only people smiled a bit more!
