Happy Bear isn’t happy, what can we do to make him happy again?  A cartwheel.  Oh no, Happy Bear is mad.  What can we do to make him glad?  Blow bubbles.  Happy Bear is sad, what can we do to make him glad? 

The construction of this book is what makes it so much fun.  Happy Bear’s face changes from happy to worried to angry to sad as you turn the pages.  My toddler loved watching the paper change the face from one emotion to another just by turning the page.  We read it over and over again.
