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." --School Library Journal, starred review

故事内容叙述两个不同肤色的小男孩成为朋友的过程。两个小男孩各占据左右两面，左边的黑人小孩大声打招呼:"YO!"右边的白人小孩有点害羞的小声回答:"YES?"，经过几次试探性的问答，黑人小孩以关心的口吻问:"WHAT'S UP?" 原来，白人小孩因为没有朋友、生活无趣而感到沮丧。这时黑人小孩展开双臂说:"LOOK! ME!" 虽然彼此交换的语言很少，但身体语言是无国界的，两人的距离也越来越近，最后一起手拉着手，大声高喊:"YOW!"

太棒的一本书 全文不超过20个单词 却神奇地再现了两个孩子如何沟通 从陌生到朋友 了不起
挺有创意
适合小小孩
