Reviews

'Toddlers and their adults nationwide will welcome with open arms this clever coupling of animal sounds and lift-the-flap elements.' https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/mary-murphy-3/say-hello-like-this/

'A gentle, reassuring introduction to different kinds of animals and their methods of communication, this bold and colourful picture story is perfect for toddlers and babies. . . Using a clever split-page format full of funny and noisy surprises and eye-catching glitter detail, author and illustrator Murphy’s charming story will have youngsters clapping their hands and joining in the fun. Animal magic just made to share…' Lancashire Evening Post

'Each animal is full of character and their greetings are exuberant and very expressive. The rhythmic patterned language throughout is a delight to read aloud . . . A cacophonous finale invites the reader to join in and say 'hello' back to their animal friends. The paper is sturdy and toddler proof, which thankfully means that it will be able to withstand the inevitable multiple repetitions! Young children will enjoy extending the range of animals and deciding and acting out just how they would say 'hello' too' School Zone

'A sweet, funny book that is perfect for those who are learning their animals and their animal noises. All the animals are animated and friendly (and colourful, which doesn’t hurt) and they’re an interesting mix, complete with beetles and chickens' The Bookbag

'Different kinds of animals say hello in their own way. Some say it LOUD- Bow-wow! Some say it PROUD- Meow! And some say it SILLY- Hee-haw! Using a clever split-page format this cheerful book makes for funny and very NOISY surprises.' Mums & Tots
