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.

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.

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. :)
