"Hello, Pants. Goodbye, knees."

This is a very cute picture book, with a bunch of hellos and goodbyes. "Hello, Daddy. Goodbye, bed." This little girl wakes up and sees it has snowed, so she jumps out of bed, and runs and wakes up her dad. Then she gets bunddled up to go in the snow. In the process, she steps on the cat, zips up her thumb, and pulls her hat all the way over her head. They are finally ready and head out the door, She makes a snow mountain and snow man with her neighbor. They then find a sled, and decided to climb up the hill and try it out. "Hello, sled. Let's climb the hill- Goodbye, Daddyyyyyyy!" They crash but try again, this time crashing into her dad, and the snow man. They then say goodbye to the snow, and go in for hot coco.

Recommended to: Anyone, easy read.
Problems: The main character is the stereotypical girl, blonde hair. Who has a perfect family.
My Reaction: I liked the Hello, goodbye through out the book. I also really liked Nadine Westcott's illustrations they really get across movement. I felt like the girl was actually running, and tumbling from page to page.
