Great message, great value, and great fun!

My 9 year old and I loved this book! Great messages to inspire the younger generation to take action. Happy Hoots doesn't vilify anyone — it projects understanding and being proactive.

Great story and activities

My kids loved Happy Hoots. The story reminded me of The Lorax, but more hopeful — they felt empowered. My 5-year-old was all in on the coloring and mazes.
