Synopsis

"To call Happy Punks 1 2 3 'adorable' would be an understatement. It tells us 'Welcome to Planet Earth!' and 'Here's some cool stuff you could do in life!'"--Teresa Taylor, B*tthole Surfers
Welcome to New Flip City, a Busytown for a new era and home of the Happy Punks, twelve colorful, fun-loving, and creatively exciting friends. Come along as the Happy Punks get ready for their big show and are joined by their friends, a collection of animals, robots, zombies, snowmen, cavemen, and more who make life in New Flip City fun--and who all love to dance at the end of the day! In Happy Punks 1 2 3 we meet each of the punks as they go through their day, explore New Flip City, meet up with their friends, and have a big party with music and dancing. We also learn to count to twelve!
John Seven and Jana Christy are a married creative team living in western Massachusetts. They have published several books together, including the award-winning science picture book The Ocean Story and the international sensation A Rule Is To Break: A Child's Guide To Anarchy.

Review:

"A John Waters film made kid-friendly and picture book accessible."- School Library Journal"Promoting numeracy and joie de vivre in equal measure ... Just the ticket for young punkers who  sneer at counting, say, sheep." - Kirkus"These punks aren't exactly raging against the machine; rather, Seven and Christy focus on things that bring them joy ... the diversity of characters hint at a be-yourself, anything-goes mentality."- Publishers Weekly
