Where Happiness Lives by Barry Timms is one of the sweetest books I have read in a long time! A little mouse finds himself completely happy and content until he sees a house bigger and fancier than his own. He thinks the mouse that lives in that house must be even happier than he, only to find that that mouse is also coveting the mansion down the road. This endearing rhyming book is perfect for opening up the discussion on contentment and appreciating the blessings right in front of us. This book made for the perfect family book club for our kids!

We are committed to implementing evidence-based practices to help children learn to read through our curriculum. These strategies have been derived from years of research and we treat the fact that you have trusted us with this important task with the utmost seriousness. But we also want kids to find the joy and connection of reading aloud meaningful books together with their parents. That’s why we’ve implemented a comprehension focus within our curriculum, even for the youngest learners, and why we are offering family book club activity guides for our customers.
This particular activity guide is intended for children who are kindergarten-age but can easily be tweaked for children of varying ages. The activity guide includes:
- Discussion Questions
- Family Mural Drawing Page
- Matching Animals to their Homes

…and more!
