Say Hello! by Linda Davick
Synopsis coming soon.......
A cheerful crew demonstrates some of the ways we can greet each otherA passel of multiethnic human children looks straight out of Colorforms with their round heads, google eyes, and broad smiles. Simple shapes in a palette of primary and pastel colors appear against a white background, and each suggested method covers a spread: With a hug. // With a shake. // With a curtsy. // With a cake. The rhyming text appears in bold black letters that are easy for beginning readers to decipher. Some hellos are up-close and personal, such as a kiss, while others are meant to be sent from afar in a letter. Some are highly energetic: a dance of happiness. A smile offers a more subtle salutation. A few animals appear in this cast, too. A dog may acknowledge us with a wag of the tail, or we may approach a fish with a wiggle of the toes. In the end, youngsters are exhorted to make someone's day by saying hello. Skin color modulates from straight-up pink through beiges and tans to dark brown, though the pinky-peach end of the spectrum dominates. An upbeat if not essential celebration of a common courtesy. -- Kirkus Reviews * June 1, 2015 *
