“Heavy book that has super huge pages. Hard to balance and read and offer it to the little reader to participate.”

“It's a little lengthy for my pre-schooler, but it's really fun. We enjoy the illustrations, especially because they're so different from anything else on our bookshelf. It's clever and silly, and even my one-year-old likes to get in on the high-five action.”

5.0

“The rhyming is stretched a bit far to make some of the text work (for example, rhyming “yourself” with “help”). But the illustrations are fluorescent, bright, and fun, and the concept of a high fiving contest is original and sure to be a huge hit with young readers.”
