Summary
In Cabrera's version of the popular children's song, various animals demonstrate the motions for the many verses. Monkey claps his hands, elephant stamps his feet, while giraffe nods his head. Concluding pages have a Hollywood Square montage of all nine animals who all cry at once "If you're happy and you know it, shout...We are!" Cheerful painterly pictures in a kaleidoscope of colors enhance the jovial mood of the song. Appearance of brush strokes gives texture to the animals, and the large black font is easy to read.
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "PreS. As in Over in the Meadow (2000), Cabrera once again brings a popular traditional song to the youngest audience with bright, exuberant pictures of animals in action. In this interactive singing game, toddlers and preschoolers will clap their hands with the monkey; stamp their feet with the big, pink elephant; roar with the lion; kiss with the loving hippo and her baby; flap arms with the funny bird; and jump around with the big frog. Perfect for the lap-sit crowd, and the large, double-page spreads make this a winner for small groups as well. --Hazel Rochman Copyright 2005 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Action Packed For those more comfortable on the move, a handful of titles suggest opportunities to play. If You're Happy and You Know It! by Jane Cabrera provides a cast of animal characters in swirls of thick brushstrokes to demonstrate the popular song's lyrics. Orange monkeys clap hands, pink elephants stamp feet and a lemur with a spiraling striped tail spins around in a tropical landscape. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved"
