From Booklist:

PreS-Gr. 2. How animal and human creatures greet each other is the subject of the latest easy reader in the Early Experiences series. Although this uses the same question-answer format as Does a Baboon Sleep in a Bed? (2006), the language is more complicated this time ("Coyotes use facial expressions to communicate"). The meaning is, however, still clear, thanks to the colorful pictures, sharply outlined in ink.^B After a double-page spread about chimpanzees and their gestures, the book moves to humans and their greetings--babies learning to smile, kids slapping a high five, and adults greeting one another in cultures across the world, from France to Japan to Saudi Arabia. The elemental animal-human connection is fun, and so are the examples of communication Ehrlich has assembled. Hazel Rochman
