Happy Harry's Cafe by Michael Rosen
A good-natured joke about a forgetful bear told with wit and humour. Happy Harry serves great soup at his café. It’s so good that his friends – Matt the Cat, Jo the Crow, Ryan the Lion and Robin the Robin – all rush to get there before it runs out. But today something’s wrong with Matt – he says the soup’s no good. Harry’s shocked – until he finds out the soup’s no good because Matt has no spoon to eat it with! An old joke is brilliantly brought to life for very young children by Michael Rosen and Richard Holland. Happy Harry’s Café is a great read aloud text with sparklingly stylish illustrations, a cast of charming characters and a delightful “soup song” for the grand finale.
