<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Raschka's Caldecott Honor Book which captures the street poetry between two boys is now available for the first time in a Scholastic Bookshelf paperback version. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This Caldecott Honor classic is a simple yet important story about friendship.</p><p></p>Two kids meet on a street. Yo! says one. Yes? says the other. And so begins a conversation that turns strangers into friends. With vibrant illustrations, Chris Raschka's rhythmic read-aloud is a celebration of differences -- and how it just takes a few words to overcome them. More relevant than ever in our divided world, this 1993 Caldecott Award-winning classic is presented in an accessible paperback format.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* 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. -- <i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chris Raschka is the Caldecott Award-winning illustrator of <i>A Ball for Daisy</i> and <i>The Hello, Goodbye Window</i>.
