BIBLOGRAPHY
For, Mem and Jenkins, Steve. 2009.HELLO BABY!. New York: Beach Lane Books. ISBN: 978-1-4169-8513-6
PLOT SUMMARY
The book is for reading aloud to young children. It starts with a babies hand and then shows a part of an animal or shadow and on the following page it show the animals and gives a short sentence for the animal. The animals portrayed are not all from one area but from different continents. At the end of the story you see an adult and babies hands reaching for each other. On the previous page there is the endearing question “ Are you my treasure?”.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
The book was short as it was meant to be read aloud to young children. The illustrator, Steve Jenkins, did a good job in rendering the illustrations using a collage technique. I think this lends depth to the animals using the different layers. The book introduces the listener to different animals that they may not have encountered before in life. This is a simple book that can be used in a variety of different ways.
