Great classroom book! This book offers a wonderful introduction to the diversity of languages and greetings that abound in the neighborhood in which she lives. The book is colorful and well paced. My K-1 students have enjoyed it! Plus, there is a pronunciation guide at the end of the book.
SummaryCarmelita goes to visit her Abuela Rosa and on the way she says hello to all the different people she meets in her neighbourhood in their own languages. The colours are vivid with a lot of opportunity to explore the images, signs etc. with your child. There are 9 different greetings in the book.Recommended forAny parent who wants their young child to be aware of different cultures and to hear the sound of the language. Many kids find knowing how to do or say something others cannot, exciting, so that may be an additional attraction for your child.
It was a great surprise to find this book. I asked the salesperson at our local bookstore for a book to help very young children understand that there are different languages in the world. He brought me this book and I was sooo pleased. It is perfect, just what I was looking for, but didn't know how to express what I wanted. I have an adopted son from a country in Africa and a baby daughter from Korea. They love the book and soon I will have to buy another one because this will be worn out! I will buy one for our school library as well. Thanks again for a great book.
I live near Johannesburg, South Africa and am well aware of Ms. Isadora's books. I teach in a small school what in the States is Second Grade. One of my pupils brought in, Say Hello!, and my entire class and I fell in love with it. Please be assured we will have one in our little, sharing library soon. It is a wonderful way to introduce different cultures and languages to my children. We all appreciate the vibrant and appealing illustrations and will do our own collages gained from the inspiration gathered from the book.Thank you,Miss C. Holloway
I got this book as a gift for my cousin and her baby living in Spain. The blend of English and Spanish is perfect as she'll be growing up learning English and Spanish. The illustrations are beautiful and the diversity of nationalities represented is wonderful.
The illustrations in this book are so rich and bright; they bring the simple story to life. A lovely multicultural tale.
I read this to the two to three year-old children in my diverse classroom. The children love it and request to have it read repeatedly.
I recently got this book to use in my first grade classroom. I love it!! I love the artwork, I love that the characters are multicultural, I love the book! Excellent for preschool and up.
