Hello, Hello!

Author: Schlein, Miriam Brand: Brand: Simon n Schuster Children's Publishing Edition: Complete Numbers Starting with 1, 1st Ed Features: Binding: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 32 Release Date: 01-06-2002 Details: From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2-The manner in which creatures great and small greet one another is the subject of this informative picture book. Rubbing foreheads or noses, twining trunks, or grabbing jaws are just a few of the ways animals communicate their pleasure upon meeting. Wolves, beavers, polar bears, lions, and chimpanzees, among others, are shown saying "hello" in Kirk's large oil paintings on textured paper. Arresting spreads reveal the friendly acknowledgments. The book concludes with a child greeting an adult with a smile, a wave, a hug, and a kiss while a circle of animals watches. This title is a potential storytime selection that educates while presenting the opportunity to participate in the action.Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI Copyrig
