Taking a Bath with the Dog and Other Things that Make Me Happy, by Scott Menchin, is a new book I found at Besore Library. This book was just begging me to take it off the shelf and I am so glad I did. The story line is very simple. A little girl is unhappy. She asks others what makes them happy and by the end of the story, she knows what makes her happy too. There is a subtle message that when one person is happy, you can influence the way others feel too.
I would use this book to discuss how we can turn around sad feelings. I might send children off to find out what makes the people and pets in their family happy or we could just make our own book of happiness.
