Just as he did in Do's and Don'ts, The Okay Book, and his other titles (16 and counting), Parr keeps it super simple, with fat lines, bold colors, and a repetitively cheery, often silly message. His words get some smiles here and there ("Brushing your hair with a lion feels good," "Making sounds like a monkey feels good"), but it's the vibrant, uncluttered, kid-style illustrations and the way that Parr juxtaposes them with the text that makes this book such fun. "Making a new friend" accompanies a fat, happy pig holding hands with a skunk sporting a thin red smile; "Watching your grandma and grandpa dance feels good" sits above a couple of funky, freaky grandparents doing a dance that can only be described as "the Keith Haring."
Parr closes the book a little philosophically, with a handwritten "Love, Todd" note: "It feels good to think about all the things that make you feel good. Rubbing my dog's tummy makes me feels good--and him, too. What things make you feel good?" In a kids' book, it's easy for simple to become simply insubstantial, but Parr's enthusiasm carries the day--and if you can be made to feel good, you will. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
