Where are you going? To see my friend! by Eric Carle and Kazuo Iwamura. A story of friendship in 2 languages. This lively and rhythmic, bilingual picture book is told in dialogue,
with rebuslike symbols used to identify speakers. It details an
energetic romp with a dog, cat, rooster, goat, rabbit, and a child, all
of whom become friends. Carle's familiar collage technique is employed
in the book's first half, while Iwamura's gentle watercolor
illustrations, combined with the Japanese text (and a pronunciation guide), make up the second half.
The two texts are divided by a gatefold that includes the music and
lyrics to the song "Where Are You Going? To See My Friend!" in English
and Japanese. An irresistible, spirited ode to friendship.
Hardback, 40 pages.
