Hugo the Happy Starfish Book Reviews (Tomoson)

I read Hugo the Happy Starfish: the secret to happiness and Hugo the Happy Starfish: the last bully in exchange for review from Tomoson.  I received hardback books. The books were written by Suzy Liebermann.

I have read Hugo's books before on Amazon. I loved the Secret to Happiness; The Island of Optimism, and the Joy of Nothing. I also bought the Island of Enthusiasm, Maps (not a Hugo book, but a great Liebermann book). Other non-Hugo books I have are Transportation, Role Models, The School, Commit to be Fit, Cinderella, Recycling, and The Earth. The books are educational and fun to read. The books also teach kids about important topics such as bullying and sharing.

Hugo the happy starfish: The last bully

Hugo is a happy starfish, with a big heart. While, swimming along through the ocean, Hugo notices a friend getting bullied. Hugo steps in for his friend and also starts an anti-bullying club. Hugo wanted to stop all sea creatures from being bullied. Hugo maintained a positive attitude throughout the book. He did not resort to attacking or insulting others. The book was a great lesson in character development. The book was a quick read. It also used easy-to-understand language. The books was not too short, but not too long to lose a child's interest. I enjoyed reading the book.

Hugo the happy starfish: the secret to happiness


Hugo is sad and looks for ways to be happy. He tries fishing  and treasure hunting, but feels sad immediately after. He learns that happiness comes from within, in addition to making new friends, sharing, and helping friends. Children can learn about empathy, social responsibility, and empowerment through giving and sharing.

The Secret to Happiness is also an award winning children's book. It was an award winning finalist in the Children's Mind/Body/Spirit category of the USA Best books of 2012, sponsored by USA Book News. Once again, I enjoyed reading this book. The book was also colorful and alive. The story was just long enough to capture my children's attention, which I loved. This is a great book to read.
