I enjoyed checking this book out from the library when I was a kid. Every so often someone would take a pencil and write on the back blank pages their own version of "Happiness Is. . . ." They were all in small print and some were quite clever. I added one of my own. Okay, it wasn't right, but reading people's "Happiness Is" quotes was part of the fun of checking out this book periodically. (Remember, we didn't have the internet in those long ago days so that was our way of blogging.) One day, I checked it out and to my horror one of the librarians had caught on and erased all of them!! I was devastated. Sigh. Still - this is a nice, feel-good book. ( )

childhood relic, recently found in a box packed away. ( )

Well, happiness is a warm puppy, isn't it?

A seminal & much beloved book from very early childhood, and a treasure for the ages.
