Horn Book Guide Reviews
Goob's friends help him cope after his grandpa's death. Lily's batch of salty cookies teaches her about listening. Sammy learns to focus on his strengths. Sophie must work with the class meanie on a group project. Each one of these predictable stories is a thinly veiled life lesson, and the competent cartoonish illustrations may attract some kids to the didactic content. Discussion questions are included. [Review covers these 7 Habits of Happy Kids titles: Goob and His Grandpa, Lily and the Yucky Cookies, Sammy and the Pecan Pie, and Sophie and the Perfect Storm.]
