Synopsis
Hello. Good-bye.
Every day we use these words.
In one way or another we say
them again and again.
We say "hello" when we meet.
We say "good-bye" when we part.
They are a beginning and an end.
Who but the incomparable Aliki would be able to take these two simple words and show us that they are filled with possibilities. There are many different kinds of hellos -- and just as many good-byes. And each can be filled with excitement and surprise. Start reading-and say hello to fun!

About the Author
Aliki has written and illustrated many books, both fiction and nonfiction, loved by readers throughout the world. The books were inspired by a word, an experience, or the desire to find out. Aliki says, "I'm not so great at pushing buttons, but I know things happen when you do." Aliki lives in London, England.
From Booklist
Ages 4^-7. The title sums it up. This is a book about greetings around the world and the way simple words can have many meanings. "Hello" is an introduction, a welcome, a spectacular welcome. It can be said in different ways ("good-morning," "howdy" ). It can even be said without words (a wave or the shake of a hand.) It can be loud or soft or take on many moods. The same is true of "good-bye," although that is often more difficult to say than "hello." Using her signature artwork, appealing in its childlike simplicity, Aliki shows in full-page boxes and cartoonlike strips all the many moods of greetings. Occasionally, she stretches the concept a little--"peek-a-boo" is not really a playful "hello," nor do you see many kids in baseball caps saying "toodle-oo" --but children should enjoy the ruminations anyway and perhaps mull over the different feelings these words evoke.
