Salute! High Five by Adam Rubin and Daniel Salieri

Step right up, folks! Got something to celebrate?

THERE'S A CONTEST HERE
WHERE HIGH FIVE FANS FROM FAR AND NEAR
ALL PRESS PALMS AGAINST THE REST
TO SEE WHOSE HIGH FIVE IS BEST!

If you think your High Five has all the right stuff, step up and slap with the best of them, Sensei, the champion high fiver!

Warning! He's got one big HAND!

Maybe you'd better warm up a bit before you compete. Remember to keep your hands rather limber, elbows bent, and wrists fixed. You might want to practice slapping some thick elephant skin to toughen up your touch.

YOU'LL WANT TO SHOW A LITTLE STYLE.
SOMETHING TO MAKE THOSE HIGH FIVE JUDGES SMILE!

THEY WANT TO SEE SOMETHING BRAND-NEW.
A HIGH FIVE ONLY YOU COULD DO!

It's hand jive for High Fives, in Adam Rubin's latest, High Five (Dial Books, 2019), illustrated in the characteristic scratchboard-like style of ace artist, Daniel Salieri. Kids from all over test their mettle against all kind of critters--Kangaroo and Lizard, too, in a jolly contest in this lively workout of a picture book by a couple of the modern masters of the art. Author Adam Rubin and artist Daniel Palmieri, creators of the best-selling Dragons Love Tacos and sequels, Those Darn Squirrels! and Secret Pizza Party (reviews here), are back together and up to some high jinks with these high fives. Keep this book handy for kids who like a little competition!
