Hello, Ocean Friends: A High-Contrast Book

Readers meet (and greet) 10 aquatic animals including a starfish, crab, jellyfish, and shark in this lighthearted board book. Set against black backdrops, Lemay%E2%80%99s sea creatures have rough, chunky features reminiscent of linoleum prints, while black-and-white patterns of dots, squares, and other shapes on the left-hand pages provide additional high-contrast imagery to catch babies%E2%80%99 attention. The varied greetings range from polite (%E2%80%9CGood to see you, dolphin%E2%80%9D) to folksy (%E2%80%9CWhat%E2%80%99s up, turtle?%E2%80%9D), with Spanish and Hawaiian hellos in the mix, as well. A closing emoticon offers an irreverent reminder that some greetings don%E2%80%99t even require words. Up to age 4. (May)
