A book full of infectious enthusiasm that reminds us that humour is, in itself, a vital aspect of effective communication. A timely, upbeat work that acknowledges the fact that although teachers face huge challenges they can choose to focus on the many, many positives because the rewards are always greater.
A book that clearly demonstrates why pupils respond to positive, rounded human beings with broad and varied lives. I was also glad to read about the ripple effect of happiness ... backed up with a well-chosen Bob Monkhouse gag.
