A Joyful Sillyness Beware, you will need to pre-read this book to yourself before reading it aloud to a child! My preschool class has chosen this book once or twice a day since I brought it in. They wait eagerly for me to read the name of each new silly animal, laughing joyfully each time they hea. "My daughter loves this book" according to J. McGuinnes.
