Gr 1–4—This colorful and humorous chapter book collection includes the first two volumes in this delightfully silly series. In Gnawing Around, Beavers move into Grumpy Woods, cutting off access to the river and using up all the wood. The citizens must work together with the Super Happy Party Bears to stop them. In Knock Knock on Wood, Wallace Woodpecker's loud pecking disturbs the residents and it's up to the Super Happy Party Bears to turn the annoyance into an opportunity for "dancercise." In each tale, the Super Happy Party Bears come to the rescue and help save the day. Colleen has created a series that is funny, charming and upbeat. Bright, cartoon-style art adds to the humor and appeal. Short, fast-paced chapters will keep new readers engaged.
VERDICT An amusing read aloud selection full of positive energy.
