An effective, unusual 34-word story of the beginnings of a friendship, accompanied by wild and wonderful illustrations. Against pastel backgrounds, in vibrant, colorful images, an African-American boy and a white boy meet on the street. [Their] one- and two-word exchanges on each spread lead to a tentative offer of friendship, sealed as both boys jump high in the air and yell Yow!" With a beautifully balanced, economical style, the book illumines the peaks and pitfalls of getting acquainted, and puts in a good word for brotherhood as well." --School Library Journal, starred review

故事內容敘述兩個不同膚色的小男孩成為朋友的過程。兩個小男孩各占據左右兩面，左邊的黑人小孩大聲打招呼:"YO!"右邊的白人小孩有點害羞的小聲回答:"YES?"，經過幾次試探性的問答，黑人小孩以關心的口吻問:"WHAT'S UP?" 原來，白人小孩因為沒有朋友、生活無趣而感到沮喪。這時黑人小孩展開雙臂說:"LOOK! ME!" 雖然彼此交換的語言很少，但身體語言是無國界的，兩人的距離也越來越近，最后一起手拉著手，大聲高喊:"YOW!"

太棒的一本書 全文不超過20個單詞 卻神奇地再現了兩個孩子如何溝通 從陌生到朋友 了不起
挺有創意
適合小小孩
很喜歡
