I read this book on the daily。 It's full of ups and ups。 No seriously, I read this book to my newborn every day。 The high contrast imagery is more important than the actual content。 I look forward to the day he will read it back to me。 I read this book on the daily。 It's full of ups and ups。 No seriously, I read this book to my newborn every day。 The high contrast imagery is more important than the actual content。 I look forward to the day he will read it back to me。 。。。more
Alice Rachel,
Probably my favorite in the series。 I like that these books have very little words so they can be used in any language。
Kendra,
This is another book that I was able to get from the library for Cassie。 "Hello, Ocean Friends" by Violet Lemay is different ways to say hello and different type of ocean friends。 Cassie loved looking at this book and through a whole week she was often flipping the pages on her own looking at them。 I loved how they were all in black white which is a huge contrast for even the youngest of babies。 I also love how it's very simple text but gets the point across。 Also shows the different ways a pers This is another book that I was able to get from the library for Cassie。 "Hello, Ocean Friends" by Violet Lemay is different ways to say hello and different type of ocean friends。 Cassie loved looking at this book and through a whole week she was often flipping the pages on her own looking at them。 I loved how they were all in black white which is a huge contrast for even the youngest of babies。 I also love how it's very simple text but gets the point across。 Also shows the different ways a person can say hello。 If you have a little kid be sure to check out this awesome book。 。。。more
Donnisha Jones,
Nice crisp images
The Campbell Family,
Bud and I read this to Linden。 Very simple but good illustrations。
Lillian,
This is a nice high-contrast images book。 It is all black and white。 Even though I am almost 4 months old and can see color, I still reacted well to these。 The illustrations are great, but there could be more to the story!
Brittany,
Baby loved this high contrast book。 Tried to reach out to the pictures。
Sierra McCorvey,
The high contrast in color is good for the young developing eyes。 I like that the book presents many ways to say hello。 I'm not sure the book is stimulating enough for 0-2。 Maybe more textures to touch?

Miss Pippi the Librarian,
Black and white high-contrast book for little ones。 Fun illustrations and simple greetings to ocean friends。2017 storytime theme: baby storytime - summer/waterReviewed from a library copy。
Marie,
Fantastic board book! Black and white patterns on the left side of each page and a picture of an ocean animal on the right。 Many ways to say "hello," such as "hola," "hey there," and "aloha。" Baby Harris seems to focus on the pages, so the high contract black-and-white is appealing to him。 Fantastic board book!

Jill,
Great introduction to ocean animals great for young toddlers and the black and white make it a great choice for infants。
Kendra,
Lovely contrast book including different ways to say hello (mostly in English)。 With appealing patterns on pages opposite simple black and white sea creatures, babies are sure to love this one!
Camille,
I thought this was just going to be one of those Horan high-contrast books, but it was something more。 Each page has a different greeting on it (eg Hi, Hello, what's up) with a different sea creature。 So, it's great for baby's eyes since it is a high contrast book and for baby's fingers, too since there's some texture action, too。 You can use the greetings as an opener for storytime or circle time。 This has been added to my list of favorite board books and I can't wait to use it for a program!
