AAUGH Blog reader Keith let me know that there’s a small error in the Color Nook version of Happiness is a Warm Puppy<\/strong><\/a>: where the book says that “Happiness is a climbing tree”, the read-aloud audio track says that “Happiness is climbing a tree”. A pretty small error, admittedly, but a rather large error rate, given how few words are in the book!<\/p>\n

I had to double-check to see if that error violates the format of the book, and it doesn’t. Most<\/em> of the things Happiness is are nouns, such as “a warm puppy”, but there are a few that are verbs, such as “walking in the grass in your bare feet.” It should be noted that this is in contrast to the song<\/em> about “Happiness is…” from You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown<\/em>, where Happiness is usually, but not always, a verb. (It should be noted that in the previous sentence, the phrase “it should be noted” does not connote something that actually should be noted; rather, it stands in for the phrase “the pointless reflection currently haunting this blog author’s mind is”.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
