From beloved author/illustrator Amy Schwartz comes this endearing tribute to 100 everyday things worth celebrating. Readers young and old will get lost in the loving details of each illustration and the warmth of the simple pleasures that surround us all. A poster on the back of the book jacket features all 100 things as a collectible keepsake.

“It is a book chock-full of fun—what more could one want?” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

“The tightly rendered illustrations, which usually appear in twos or three against white backgrounds, have a refreshing emotional reticence; the kids’ happiness is shown as matter-of-fact and grounded rather than euphoric or manic. And then there are the descriptions themselves, eloquent in their unfussiness.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“A fun, engaging read.” —School Library Journal (Starred Review)

"The tightly rendered illustrations, which usually appear in twos or three against white backgrounds, have a refreshing emotional reticence; the kids' happiness is shown as matter-of-fact and grounded rather than euphoric or manic. And then there are the descriptions themselves, eloquent in their unfussiness...Schwartz isn't the first to try a compendium of this sort, but she sets a new benchmark."
Publishers Weekly

"Schwartz’s distinctive pictures in brilliant colors would make anyone happy...a magical romp through the senses and delights of being human."

"It’s all very, very sweet, but with the occasional offbeat example that will satisfy out-of-the-box thinkers."
