Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.
Anyone who knows me knows that I like dogs (my family owns 5 - we live on a farm), so of course I thought this book was sweet. I was very glad that this book was literally a "happy" book and nothing happened to Happy the Dog. I thought the illustrations were charming. I think this is a book younger readers could enjoy but also entertain slightly older children as well. I thought the illustrations were cute as well.

Happy is a dog. Happy was a kind, loving and friendly dog. He never upset and never make his person sad. He taught his person how to treat her friends with kindness. Her person glad to learn it from Happy.

My daughter loves the ilustration. She laugh at Happy when the picture show something funny based on her imagination. She is so happy when read Happy and her person’s book. Its a good bedtime storybook to read aloud with your kids.

This book is very cute. I love the cover and think children will be drawn to it due to having a dog and a child on it. I liked the bright colours, easy to read, rhyming writing and the cute story about her dog Happy. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Happy is the family pup who loves everyone and treats them with kindness. Just as we should and then we will be happy, too.
The illustrations by Blinky are fun, simple, brilliant, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from MK Author Marketing Services via NetGalley. Thank you!

THIS WAS SO CUTE. I love dog stories and this one has such a good message! It was short and sweet and so great for kids to see how helpful pets can be.

Happy is an adorable Cocker Spaniel, who is treasured by the little girl who owns him. Having Happy in her life has taught her how to appreciate and show kindness to the people around her.

And at the end of each day of joyful play, the two of them slip swiftly into their dreams, excited for tomorrow.

This is a sweet and simple story with rhyming text and cute illustrations. It will be enjoyed by young children and will also teach them something. I give it 3.5 stars.

A story about the relationship between a girl and her dog and the lessons she learns from him in how to live life and treat people. The illustrations were beautiful and the relationship between the girl and her dog was sweet, and relatable to any dog lover. However, I felt that the rhyming was a bit forced, and the story was a bit lacking. I also thought that the ending was abrupt and that it didn’t makes sense in the context of the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) for my honest review of this book.

Simple book with simple illustrations about a girl who loves her dog, Happy. Good for an early reader. The font isn't great but overall it was a cute book.

A quick read of one kid's time with their dog. From frolicking in the park to having fun with their friends. It didn't quite grasp me as much as I thought it would. It is simple and effective in its morals, but I didn't connect to the art or story.

This lovely storybook is a tale about Happy, a sweet puppy who makes everyone happy through his joy. Dogs really are the epitome of joy, and I love the way this story captures that and suggests how much we can learn from dogs. A great message for children and adults alike. The illustrations by Blinky are lovely as well.

Thank you Michael Barnes, MR B’s Books, MK Author Marketing Services, and NetGalley for providing this ARC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.

Happy Makes Me Happy is about a little girl and her dog named Happy. Happy the dog is always in a good mood, wagging his tail, running around, and playing. The little girl learns to be happy from her dog. Did you know happiness is contagious?

When Happy gets tired, he curls up and snuggles with his little human. He teaches her to be kind and loving toward others, and how to appreciate the people in her life. The illustrations in this book are fun!

If you've ever been owned by your own dog (or cat), you can definitely relate to this! Children will love this book showcasing the friendship between Happy and his human. It's important to learn lessons of happiness and love, from our pets, from the people in our lives, and from books. Sweet story! ❤️

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!

Thank you to the publisher along with NetGalley for the eARC! This is a cute story for animal lovers, especially dogs. I like how the story goes through different activities you can do with your dog, and how the dog can make one so happy. A great library addition for a family who is getting a pet!
