Items related to 100 Things That Make Me Happy: A Picture Book
Synopsis
In the grand tradition of “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens” comes an uplifting tribute to 100 everyday things worth celebrating. The list, in rhyming couplets, draws directly from a preschooler’s world—from slippery floors to dinosaurs, from goldfish to a birthday wish. Amy Schwartz weaves a masterful balance between art and text, with each of the 100 items portrayed as its own well-observed and warmly detailed vignette. While the contents provide readers with a frame of reference for the quantity of “100”—a celebratory milestone in preschools and early elementary grades—the oversized pages envelop young children in the wonderful things surrounding them.

Review
STARRED REVIEW
"The tightly rendered illustrations, which usually appear in twos or three against white backgrounds, have a refreshing emotional reticence; the kids' happiness is shown as matter-of-fact and grounded rather than euphoric or manic. And then there are the descriptions themselves, eloquent in their unfussiness...Schwartz isn't the first to try a compendium of this sort, but she sets a new benchmark." (Publishers' Weekly, starred review 2014-08-11)
STARRED REVIEW
"It is a book chock-full of fun—what more could one want?" (Kirkus Reviews 2014-09-15)
"It’s all very, very sweet, but with the occasional offbeat example that will satisfy out-of-the-box thinkers." (Elissa Gershowitz The Horn Book Magazine 2014-11-01)
"Schwartz’s distinctive pictures in brilliant colors would make anyone happy...a magical romp through the senses and delights of being human." (Lolly Gepson Booklist 2014-10-15)
