Here We Go, Harry FROM THE PUBLISHER
One breezy day, Harry and his friends Ted and Lulu climb to the top of a little hill. "Whoopee!" cry Lulu and Ted as they jump off the hill and tumble down through the soft grass. "Come on, Harry!" they shout, rolling roly-poly to the bottom. But Harry doesn't feel right. He doesn't feel loopy, or swoopy, or light. What will it take for Harry to feel like jumping too?
FROM THE CRITICS
School Library Journal
PreS-Harry and his friends are back for another adventure. The three stuffed animals climb the hill near Harry's house ("It wasn't too high. It wasn't too far") and from the top enjoy the wind. With three hops and a leap, Lulu the lamb and Ted the bear fly "in the air as light as could be." Harry, an elephant, is more hesitant, but with encouragement he makes an attempt. His ears flop over his eyes, and he doesn't fly like his friends, so they come to his aid. Holding on to his ears, they hop "one, two, three" and soar together. With simple text and just enough plot, this selection is a good choice for storytimes and for sharing one-on-one. The soft and gentle pastel illustrations will be enjoyed by young children, who will feel the wind and lightness of air as they "fly" with Harry and his pals. The touchable quality of the art invites frequent readings. Lewis knows her audience and creates characters and situations with which youngsters will identify.-Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
