Publisher Description
This unique book, which grew out of the popular website Spontaneous Smiley, will appeal to kids and adults. Who can resist the wacky, cute smiley faces to be spied in photos of colorful found objects? Young readers will enjoy learning their colors as they're identifying what the smileys are made from—an electrical outlet, a hubcap, even a piece of toast—and readers of all ages will appreciate the witty rhyming text, and its inspirational message about choosing happiness.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
There are signs of joy all around us, declares this cheerful and clever book developed from the Web site SpontaneousSmiley.com. Photographs grouped by color capture smiley faces hidden in an orange metal beam (rivets form the eyes, rust the mouth), a cloud, and even a pair of balloons tied to a crowd barrier strung with caution tape. A trite motivational poem ("Look all around/ And notice the good!/ Focus on that./ We think you should") accompanies the photographs, which are the real highlight. Despite the weakness of the verse, it's undeniably fun to find quirky faces in unexpected everyday places, and as an added bonus, an extra 32 images appear as thumbnails in the closing spread. Ages 3 6.
