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

Simple yet fun book about making friends. Two boys meet on the street and engage in a mono syllabic conversation. This could be a very fun student read aloud, with 2 students or a divided class. Great for understanding punctuation and practicing expression while reading.
I read this in the first grade for school. It was all too repetitive even then. Even the rhythm the book was spoken in was awful.
