Hello Hello Opposites (Brendan Wenzel) | Brendan Wenzel (Illustrator)

Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator Brendan Wenzel's irresistible animal images take the spotlight in this new series of concept board books for young children, based on his award-winning picture book Hello Hello.

Say HELLO to learning fun!

Little ones will learn about opposites with the help of a heavy walrus and light butterfly, a tough rhino and gentle fawn, a loud tiger and quiet salamander, and many more delightfully different pairs!

A parade of wild animals walks, swims, and flies across the sturdy pages of this colorful book. Read the playful text. Find the opposites. Marvel at the incredible array of animals--big and small--that populate our planet. A key at the end of the book identifies each animal for those who want to learn even more.

LEARNING OPPOSITES: Delightful duos of animal friends--from big and small to short and tall--make their hellos and introduce young children to opposites.

ENGAGING AND EDUCATIONAL: Kids will enjoy discovering the dazzling variety of animals in nature, from speedy cheetahs to slow sloths and hot-weather camels to ice-cool penguins. An answer key at the back identifies the names of each animal in the book.

FUN TO READ ALOUD: Simple rhythmic text and funny, appealing pictures make a joyous read-aloud experience for parents and children.
