Reviews
“A lighthearted celebration of friendship and sharing.”
School Library Journal
“This lighthearted story revels in the small acts that make life better—cheers all around.”

Booklist
Brian Won’s colorful use of type (for ‘Hooray’) emphasizes the celebratory mood and the infectious good spirits that move from one friend to the next. His animal characters look soft enough to cuddle. Children will be moved by Elephant’s example to think about how they, too, can bring a smile to friends who may be having a ‘grumpy’ day. Hooray for Brian Won, an author-artist to watch!”
