I like the book because I like when sad people become happy.
Thought provoking, knowing you are not alone in your feelings when you feel sad and ideas of what you can do when you're feeling sad. This didn't make me feel sad, it made me realise everyone feels sad and thats okay. An excellent book.
It talks a lot about why Michael Rosen is sad. There are a lot of repeated phrases.
I found this book is sad but really good. It helps you cope with sadness and to understand that you are not the only one who suffers from sadness. I would recommend this book to age 6+.
"I really liked this book. There was a cloud on him. Everyone is sad. Tomorrow I will read it again. He'll still be sad but that's ok. Everyday he does something good. Like me when I play favourite thing at the end of the day."
It was about a man being sad because he lost his son and mother... People he loved the most. How he thought of ways to be happy to avoid being sad. Very real about how lots of people may be feeling sad and then try to be happy

So moving.
