There's nothing more important for kids entering preschool than to be emotionally ready-ready to separate from their parents, to mix and play with new children, to broaden their sense of the world. HAPPYLAND, from award-winning children's author Dan Yaccarino, is a new series that gives kids, and their parents, the language they need to take these emotional steps. HAPPYLAND introduces three friends-Bink, Clyde, and Glub-Glub-in a series of delightful adventures. BIRTHDAY CAKE tackles the ever-important issue of sharing, as Clyde learns it's as much fun to give as it is to receive. Dan Yaccarino's bold, colorful art and simple, direct style lifts these moral stories into the realm of perfectly engaging parables. DAN YACCARINO is the author of Five Little Pumpkins and many other children's books; creator of the Parents' Choice Award-winning animated TV series Oswald-chosen by Time as one of the top 6 shows to watch on cable-and the Emmy-winning Willa's Wild Life. His awards include the Bologna Ragazzi, The New York Times Top 10 Best Illustrated, and an ALA Notable award
