What is Happiness is a Watermelon on Your Head about?

Miss Jolly is the happiest person in the village, and nobody can understand why. Her three gloomy neighbours decide that her extraordinary hats, unusual pets and cheerful habits must hold the secret. Soon they are copying her every move, from balancing animals on their heads to wearing watermelons as hats. Told in lively rhyme, this wonderfully silly story follows their chaotic attempts to become happy too—and reveals that joy cannot simply be copied.
