Book Description
for Wave Goodbye by Rob Reid and Lorraine Williams
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
The librarian and storyteller from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, traditionally ends his storytimes with a humorous rhyme that encourages children to wave goodbye from the tips of their toes to the ends of the hairs on their head. Over the years, he has gotten many requests for a written version of his famous farewell--now we are lucky to have it in a picture-book version, illustrated with brightly colored paintings showing a diverse group of children waving good-bye at a birthday party. Young listeners will enjoy demonstrating their own methods for waving their elbows, eyes, ears, knees, and hair when you read this one aloud. (Ages 2-5)
