Great message, great value, and great fun!

My 9 year old and I loved this book! The story is a lot of fun, with great messages to inspire the younger generation to take action for the things they believe in. Happy hoots doesn’t seek to vilify anyone, it projects understanding and being proactive in taking care of the planet. This is not just a story, it is an interactive experience that is fun and thought provoking. We enjoyed working through the exercises together, the story was captivating and got my daughter excited to participate (...)

Cute Story and Characters

Arrived quickly. A very cute story with lovable characters. There are several activities interspersed through the story that give opportunity to engage with your child as you read with them. The pictures are designed for your child to color them in and they are simple enough that younger children will be able to enjoy them too. Every book plants a tree which is a great way to introduce your child to real life action in response to a world problem.

top ranked in children's environment and ecology for a good reason

What a fun and crafty book, my little one was engaged with the story and loved the fun exercises we did together.
I wasn't sure what to expect as this book only had a handful of reviews so far but I saw it was highly ranked in the "Children's Environment & Ecology Books" section so we gave it a try and can see why it was ranked so high. This is a wonderful book to enlighten young minds and teach them about nature while having fun exercises you can do together on on their own.

Great story and activities

My kids loved Happy Hoots. The story reminded me of The Lorax, but more hopeful, and they really felt empowered by it. My 5-year-old was all in on the coloring and mazes. Even my 3-year-old liked the story, though some activities were a little tricky for him.

I love that it plants a tree when you buy it. A great message, fun activities, and a cool way to teach kids they can make a difference.

Inspiring and FUN

This is an inspiring and thoughtful book that encourages kids to care for the planet. The story is engaging, the activities are fun, and the real-world impact is amazing! It's so cool that one book plants a tree. My kids loved becoming Forest Guardians and learning that even small actions can make a big difference.

Great learning and activity book for kids

Happy Hoots is a great activity book for kids and teaches about helping the environment and our forests. We read Happy Hoots to our seven year old son and he really liked completing the activities throughout the book. So cool how every copy sold plants a tree!

THE HAPPY HOOTS STORY

EVERYTHING CHANGED

One morning, everything changed. The forest was under attack. Bulldozers. Smoke. Fear.

Captain Hoots didn't wait. He knew heroes take action.

ANCIENT WISDOM

He flew to Henrietta. Her words stayed with him:

"When something feels wrong... take action."

THE BIG IDEA

He flew to the city. Met a human ally. Spoke to leaders in Washington.

They shared a big idea: Take only what you need. Give more back.

They also asked a powerful question: What if businesses gave more than they took? A new way to grow stronger — together with nature.

WHAT'S INSIDE THE FULL BOOK?

The message behind the story is simple but powerful: With the right leadership and teamwork, you can own your own happy ending, by taking action and creating it yourself.
