It's Lovely When You Smile by Sam McBratney and Charles Fuge


It’s lovely when your child smiles. This is one of my 2-almost-3-year-old’s favourite bedtime stories at the moment.

The story is about Roo the child Kangaroo who is grumpy and his mother is trying to get him to smile. But he doesn’t, not until the end of the story of course.

The pictures are quality throughout and always contain Roo and his mum, plus a duck, mouse, and a bee who just like following them around.

My daughter likes to pretend she doesn’t want to smile throughout too, until the end when she does her fake smile – screwing up her eyes and lips to make a smile. It is very funny.

Then she will read the story on her own, mixing her own words with the bits she can remember from the book.

It’s enough to make you smile. 

I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed on Amazon UK HERE.
