Illustrated by
Vladimir Radunsky.
With a chorus of rollicking nonsense words ("Howjee, heejee, hijee, hojee," etc.) this friendliest of folksongs is a bouncy choice to share with young children (a CD accompanies the trade edition so you can get the melody right should you prefer to sing the words). Radunsky's bright, blocky collages, showing gregarious people and animals meeting and greeting, are a winning match for Guthrie's lyrics.
