Jeff Rollins: If You're Happy and You Know It

If you’re happy and you know it
Adapted by Raffi
Illustrated by Cyd Moore


This book features the lyrics to the song, “If you’re happy and you know it”, with some beautiful illustrations. It is a good way to introduce the text of the song, in a medium that allows children to read the words, become familiar with how it goes, then you could teach them the tune of the song. On the last page of this book there is the notated music to the song, as well as the extra verses. You could use this to introduce a very basic song to a young group of children, preschool to kindergarten age. The illustrations are vibrant, and the words are very friendly to young children.
