PRAISE FOR SAY HELLO!
"Isadora's collaged artwork [is] reminiscent of Ezra Jack Keats. . . . The city street is realized as a real, organic place. Readers will fall for the sociable Carmelita as they proudly learn a range of salutations, and the artist's rich environment, packed with hidden details and charming animals, will delight readers with each return visit. Simply enchanting."--Kirkus Reviews
"Carmelita's busy, diverse neighborhood is a place that children will enjoy, and Isadora's oil-and-collage illustrations are richly detailed. . . . Textured paint and printed patterns invite readers to linger on each page. Text and illustrations work together to provide clues for readers who may be learning these greetings for the first time."--SLJ
"Colorful and dynamic."--Booklist
"Vividly convey[s] the joys of diversity."--PW
I HEAR A PICKLE RECEIVED FOUR STARRED REVIEWS!
* "The artist's trademark style is perfectly suited to depict the child-focused activities of these diverse, expressive, and engaging tots. . . . A sour, spicy, slippery, crunchy, green treat. Preschoolers and their caregivers will devour this oversize title and come back for more."--SLJ, starred review
* "Will resonate with young readers."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* "Isadora's book about the five senses is aimed perfectly at another sense--kids' sense of humor."--Horn Book, starred review
* "Has the gently carnivalesque charm of Krauss and Sendak's A Hole Is to Dig. . . . Vivid with life from the multicultural cast of bouncy kids and the evocation of life's sensory encounters. . . . Excellent fodder for sharing in a preschool curriculum, and audiences will be chiming in to offer their own examples of what they hear, see, and most definitely smell."--BCCB, starred review
