Hi!: A Rhyming Animal Sounds Book

Ethan Long

Hi! is the first in a board book series on animal (and human) first words by award-winning author and illustrator Ethan Long.

A string of comically stylized animals greet each other in masterfully rhyming couplets--an owl's "hoo" is answered by a cow's "moo"; a crow's "caw" is returned with a donkey's "hee-haw"--all leading up to the "hi!" and "good-bye!" of a human toddler and his mom!

"A clever, deceptively simple board book. . . . A completely satisfying, age-appropriate package." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

"[T]his friendly chain of greetings and Long's bright, spongy-edged digital illustrations create an infectious sense of good cheer." --Publishers Weekly
