Hello Hello

(2) PS Spare rhyming couplets invite viewers to say "Hello" to ninety-two animals from around the world. The creatures, rendered with wide eyes in mixed-media illustrations on crisp white pages, are conceptually organized (the "Black and White" spread includes a panda and a zebra), with some being more abstract ("Hello Wonder / Hello WHOA!" shows unusual animals). An equally inventive follow-up to They All Saw a Cat. Appended with an animal index.
