Hello Hello by Dan Zanes Dan Zanes (Author), Donald Saaf (Illustrator) Age Range: 1 - 6 years Hardcover: 32 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 8, 2004) Language: English ISBN-10: 0316168084 ISBN-13: 978-0316168083 Product Dimensions: 9.2 x 0.5 x 9.2 inches Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1–In this song-in-a-picture-book, a little girl and boy are shown in a variety of outdoor scenes, where they interact with a cast of whimsical characters. Children, animals, flowers, birds, clouds, and even a banjo-playing butterfly prance and cavort. Zanes's lyrics appear on the left side of each spread: "Every day brings more than the day before/Open any door and say hello/hello/hello." All of the right-hand pages open out, revealing a hidden surprise. For example, in one scene, a cat waters some seedlings, while the foldout opens to reveal a crop of smiling sunflowers. The song's "love everybody" theme and repetitious wording try hard to please, but come off as annoying and artificial. Similarly, instead of being childlike, the mixed-media illustrations look amateurish. The figures are flat and out of proportion and seem static, despite the changing poses. The accompanying CD includes this tune as well as four traditional songs; lyrics, music, and a short introduction to each appear on the final pages.–Jane Marino, Bronxville Public Library, NY Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Reader / Customer Review (Amazon.com) A nice little package February 4, 2006 By Tabby Kat Format:Hardcover I actually ordered this by accident! I thought I was getting the Hello Hello CD and got this instead. At first I was disappointed, but then after I read the story to my daughter (2 yrs old) for the first time I discovered the CD in the back! So, of course, I played the CD and re-read the story as the song played. She and I enjoyed it a great deal! And the song goes slowly enough for you to have time to lift the flap on each page (sort of like those extended perfume ad pages in magazines) and sing Hello Hello Hello. The extra extra bonus is that there are a couple of ther songs on the CD with the words and music right in the back of the book! If your child enjoys music and reading (like mine), then this is a great combination! And I feel it has staying power and will be a favorite for years to come. Because the writing is simple enough for beginning readers to practice and the rhythm inviting enough for them to *want* to read it. Especially with the song playing in the background. All in all, a great buy!
