Recensioner i media

Two frolicsome and companionable dogs promote ways to "Be Happy" in this upbeat picture book, which offers a simple set of imperatives that link mindfulness to contentment. "Be Thankful," proposes bold text as the canines sniff dandelions and "appreciate the little things." "Believe in Yourself," encourages another page as the poodle and dachshund run across a bridge. While Bard acknowledges a range of emotions ("Sometimes it's OK to not feel OK"), some suggestions feel more moralistic than mindful ("Keep Busy/ Hucky and Buzz are happiest when they have plans for the day"). Outlined with loosely drawn black lines, Dodd's pups stand out against basic digital backdrops. Questions throughout encourage readers to reflect interactively on ways they can join Hucky and Buzz in their dogged pursuit of joy-a task that this book renders as seemingly easy.
