Grandma is coming over a play date!  And she always brings so many friends.  By simply hanging a bed sheet near a window, grandma uses body shadows to have her granddaughter guess as different animals in a parade, including an elephant, monkeys, an ostrich, kangaroo, rhinoceri, and for the finale, “Gramme and me”.  For a preschool aged audience, Hooray Parade will push kids to use their imaginations to figure out the creatures with the question “Can you guess what’s coming next?”. Repetition, alliteration and onomatopoeic language further it’s whimsical feel that are complimented with it’s pencil sketch and water color artwork.  This would be a great read aloud for public libraries and a gift for grandparents.
