Editorial Reviews

A Junior Library Guild Selection

An Indiana Young Hoosier Book Award List Selection

"Brimful of fun and sure to inspire many repeat readings."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Much like Richard Scarry’s Busy, Busy Town, Happy County is populated by a cast of cartoon animals with goofy names and a proclivity for getting into trouble . . . Amid Long’s engaging stories, interactive interstitials offer prompts to spell short words, sing, and seek and find various objects."—Publishers Weekly

"Long ventures into Scarry territory with elevated, cartoon-style overviews of Happy County . . . Young visitors will indeed be inclined to “Come back soon!” as the billboard on the road out urges." —Booklist
