A new picture book from Brendan Wenzel, the New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honor-winning author of They All Saw a Cat!

Hello, Hello! Beginning with two cats, one black and one white, a chain of animals appears before the reader, linked together by at least one common trait. From simple colors and shapes to more complex and abstract associations, each unexpected encounter celebrates the magnificent diversity of our world—and ultimately paints a story of connection.

Brendan Wenzel's joyous, rhythmic text and exuberant art encourage readers to delight in nature's infinite differences and to look for—and marvel at—its gorgeous similarities. It all starts with a simple "Hello."

The book includes:
• An afterword from author Brendan Wenzel about the importance of conservation and protecting the wildlife on our planet.
• A glossary of the animals featured in the book and a notation on their status (Near Threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered).

Wonderful Read-Aloud With Beautiful Illustrations

Reviewed in Canada on June 25, 2019

Hello Hello is one of the most interestingly illustrated books we own. It starts simply enough, with a black cat and a white cat, but as you progress through the book you encounter a delightful array of fantastic, real, creatures from all over the earth! The text is simple and fun, I enjoy reading this one aloud to our toddler and she loves looking at the unique creatures! Highly recommend for 2-6 year olds.

Such a great book, beautiful illustrations and creates awareness for endangered animals. Lots of great conversations had with my little guy how about how to treat our planet and the animals that live on it. My son asks to read this book every night.

A rhyming, strikingly illustrated story that also calls attention to the diversity of the animal kingdom....

Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2018

Author and illustrator Brendan Wenzel won a Caldecott Honor for his brilliant They All Saw A Cat. Picture book readers might also already be familiar with his utterly vibrant and eye-catching illustrative work for Ellen Jackson’s Beastly Babies and Angela DiTerlizzi’s Some Pets. With Hello Hello, Wenzel returns with a rhyming, strikingly illustrated story that also calls attention to the diversity of the animal kingdom and conservation.

Hello Hello is a gorgeous tour of sorts through a great number of creatures in the animal kingdom; everything from domestic animals to well known animals like the cheetah and tiger to perhaps lesser known animals like the strawberry poison dart frog and superb lyrebird! As an example, the picture book begins with a spread of a white cat and a black cat facing each other with a ‘Hello Hello’, and follows with a spread of creatures representing ‘Black and White’ animals to animals to go along with the themes of ‘Hello Color’ and ‘Hello Bright’. The picture book very sweetly ties in its gentle missive of awareness, appreciation and kindness for the animal kingdom with a lovely spread of a ring-tailed lemur along with two young children getting a thumbs up from (an unfortunately critically endangered) Sumatran orangutan.

Hello Hello is another excellent title from Wenzel. The illustrations are beautiful and bright (Wenzel’s artwork is stunning and likely to be appreciated by all ages!), and the book is likely to be loved as a rhyming read aloud for a storytime (toddlers or preschoolers and up). Hello Hello works on a few levels: due to its rhythmic feel and rhymes, it might work very well as a read aloud due its straightforward and streamlined text and eye-catching illustrations; for older children, the title can work as a exploration of animal species (or looking at efforts to conserve particular animals, the list goes on!). As noted in the book description, there is also an afterword from Wenzel on the topic of wildlife conservation, as well as a splendid (and highly useful!) glossary of all of the animals drawn in the book and information about the status of their species.

The illustrations are stunning and I love that there is a list of all the species throughout the book at the end. 8 month old loved looking at the pictures and I'm sure it'll hold his interest for years to come!

Beautiful images of animals that awake curiosity of children and parents. After a first lookout my two years old grandson stopped at one of the the images and asked “What does the Pangolins eat?”

Il libro è giunto dopo solo due giorni dall'ordine.
Lo stato del pacco era ottimo.
Il corriere è stato cordiale.

"HELLO HELLO" di Wenzel è un libro coloratissimo e accattivante. Insegna ad aprirsi al mondo e ad amare tutte le sue diversità partendo da un semplice saluto HELLO / CIAO... proprio come fanno i bambini che non hanno ancora conosciuto i pregiudizi.
Lo utilizzerò con i bambini di classe prima per uno storytelling con il quale introdurre argomenti di inglese ed educazione civica.

Awesome book for a wide range of ages (but would make a great baby shower gift) - totally one to buy!

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018

My almost-3 and 7 year old both absolutely love this book - and so do I! :)
Each time we read it together, we spot new and interesting elements in the illustrations (like how one animal rolls into the next page...a bit of foreshadowing!). Thea last pages are really interesting as they detail each animal which made an appearance in the book with a corresponding number - which tells you the animal's name and whether it is endangered, threatened, ok, etc. My son (who will turn 3 next month) wants me to read this over and over and over again. My daughter (7) said she loves this but "They All Saw A Cat" had more depth and was more interesting to her. I love this illustrator's Bugs and Beastly Babies books, but I think this one might be my personal favorite due to all the colors and animations on the animals' faces. This would make a great baby shower gift (with a name like Hello Hello -- and the book's beginning focus on black-and-white illustrations, which I think babies supposedly are most captivated by at first? Although the book quickly changes to colorful animals). It is also great for that 2-4 year old age with its focus on opposites - and older (5+) for learning the animal names. LOVE IT. I struggled with whether to buy this or take it out from the library, but I'm glad I bought it and now will buy They All Saw A Cat since I didn't realize what a huge impact that one had on my daughter. :)
