Max Lucado’s words to adults are inspirational， heart-warming， comforting， and wise。 But did you know that he’s also written forty-three books for children and teens？ Where’d My Giggle Go？ is a whimsical， sing-songy exploration of happiness written especially for our littlest ones。 Its simple language and easy rhymes make it perfect for pre-readers and young readers， and its message—that happiness is more than an emotion—is an important one for people of all ages to learn。Where’d My Giggle Go？ b Max Lucado’s words to adults are inspirational， heart-warming， comforting， and wise。 But did you know that he’s also written forty-three books for children and teens？ Where’d My Giggle Go？ is a whimsical， sing-songy exploration of happiness written especially for our littlest ones。 Its simple language and easy rhymes make it perfect for pre-readers and young readers， and its message—that happiness is more than an emotion—is an important one for people of all ages to learn。Where’d My Giggle Go？ begins with a young child who has lost their giggle。 They want to be happy。 They aren’t sure why they are not happy。 So， they go on a search for their giggle。 It’s not with the clown， or with grandpop， or in the bakery。 Nowhere they look has their happiness！ Slowly， they come to a conclusion: They’ll help make others happy。 And as they do so， they find their happiness coming back to them。 Lucado concludes:Your giggle may go。 If it does， that’s okay。It’s never too far to come back your way。Just help others be happy， and little by little，You’ll soon have it back。You’ll soon have your giggle。Sarah Jennings’ illustrations are bright， bold， and fun。 In a book about emotions， it’s important that the illustrator captures facial expressions and that’s something Jennings does superbly。 The text also highlights emphasized words with a slightly bigger font and in color， making them stand out。 It’s a great book to read aloud and act out dramatically with your little one。 （Maybe not a good bedtime book， because it’s going to end in giggles…which have the tendency to wind up rather than down—ask me how I know。）The only criticism that I might find with this is its simplistic view of happiness。 Which…it’s a children’s book…so that’s probably warranted。 There are times when you help people and help people and help people and your own internal emotions never change。 Mother Teresa spoke of the “dark night of the soul” that plagued her for years。 Lucado accurately speaks of happiness as more than an emotion， but the solution of “help others and then you’ll feel happy” isn’t always a guaranteed corollary。 I’m okay with it， given the desired age range this book is directed toward， so mostly this paragraph is simply a reminder that our view of grief and happiness must grow as we do—and that our good works do not always result in our personal happiness。Where’d My Giggle Go？ is both fun and conversation starting。 It’s a great way to interact with your child， teach them about their feelings， and introduce them to a love of literature。 Absolutely brilliant。 。。。more

This a wonderfully written and brightly illustrated book about how everyone can feel sad and "lose their giggle"。 I loved the rhyme and the helpful suggestions on things kids can do to help themselves feel better。 It doesn't demonize having sad days and provides hope for getting through them。 It's a good resource for early readers。This unbiased review is based on a complimentary copy provided by the publisher。 This a wonderfully written and brightly illustrated book about how everyone can feel sad and "lose their giggle"。 I loved the rhyme and the helpful suggestions on things kids can do to help themselves feel better。 It doesn't demonize having sad days and provides hope for getting through them。 It's a good resource for early readers。This unbiased review is based on a complimentary copy provided by the publisher。 。。。more

A deep-ish message concealed in an upbeat picture book （not surprising， as it's Max Lucado）。 When you're in a slump， try helping others and that may make you feel better。 A great book for Kindness week。 A deep-ish message concealed in an upbeat picture book （not surprising， as it's Max Lucado）。 When you're in a slump， try helping others and that may make you feel better。 A great book for Kindness week。 。。。more

We （my 5 year old grandson and I） absolutely loved this book。 It is a book that I would happily buy for the children of friends。 It was perfect for a 5 year old。 It opened up conversations about finding happiness by giving happiness; doing unto others， etc。 it is a book that can be enjoyed over and over by a child。 I especially love asking my grandson， when he starts to pout “where did your giggle go？” You can see the whole ah-ha moment come to his face。 I received an ARC of this book in exchang We （my 5 year old grandson and I） absolutely loved this book。 It is a book that I would happily buy for the children of friends。 It was perfect for a 5 year old。 It opened up conversations about finding happiness by giving happiness; doing unto others， etc。 it is a book that can be enjoyed over and over by a child。 I especially love asking my grandson， when he starts to pout “where did your giggle go？” You can see the whole ah-ha moment come to his face。 I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

I received an electronic ARC from Thomas Nelson: CHILDRENS through NetGalley。Readers will relate to this young boy who wakes up without his giggles。 He searches everywhere for them and can't find them。 Finally， he decides to help others find their giggles， and， no surprise， he finds his own too。A gentle story about working through emotions and finding ways to feel better when feeling glum。 The illustrations are colorful and the character expressions capture the changes in emotions clearly。Great I received an electronic ARC from Thomas Nelson: CHILDRENS through NetGalley。Readers will relate to this young boy who wakes up without his giggles。 He searches everywhere for them and can't find them。 Finally， he decides to help others find their giggles， and， no surprise， he finds his own too。A gentle story about working through emotions and finding ways to feel better when feeling glum。 The illustrations are colorful and the character expressions capture the changes in emotions clearly。Great read for a family with toddlers and preschoolers to introduce feelings。 。。。more

A amusing look at when we are cranky or sad。 If your child is feeling that way and you know that they will， you can ask Where did your giggle go？ A little boy and dog look all over for that giggle。 The joy is found in serving others and what a great lesson to learn。 They will giggle and forget why they were sad in the first place。 A enjoyable time with your young reader！A special thank you to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review。

I found this book to be very engaging。 My 5 and 3 year olds enjoyed the story and found it silly。 I did notice a typo， but didn’t notice a page number， however typo said funDfun， I believe。 The illustrations fit the story and the rhyming helped keep my children interested， while also making the story funny and showing ways you can help get yourself out of a bad mood。

Cute children's picture book。 A boy wakes up with a frown and searches for his giggle。 Told with colorful illustrations and rhyming verse the boy figures out that when he can't find his giggle he can still help others be happy。 And when he and his dog help others， surprisingly he finds his giggle。 This is a sweet book with a nice moral。 I thought from the description it might talk a bit more about how it is okay to be sad or down。 Good for younger aged children and I could see myself reading to Cute children's picture book。 A boy wakes up with a frown and searches for his giggle。 Told with colorful illustrations and rhyming verse the boy figures out that when he can't find his giggle he can still help others be happy。 And when he and his dog help others， surprisingly he finds his giggle。 This is a sweet book with a nice moral。 I thought from the description it might talk a bit more about how it is okay to be sad or down。 Good for younger aged children and I could see myself reading to Kindergarten and 1st graders in my school library。 Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson: Children's division for an ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

What a fantastic social-emotional book for children。 Using the loss of a giggle rather than the concept of sadness helps make this book much more accessible for young children still learning about their own emotions。
