Critics Review
Teachers and parents will easily see the possibilities with a book like Hip Hip Hooray! The use of language could be analysed, especially the many different verbs. The places the animals are from could be explored and investigated, not to mention the different kinds of animals themselves! And, of course, children could talk about and share their own experiences of birthdays. * Reading Time *
McCartney’s use of language is delightful and delicious, with every word a treat to read. The anticipation is beautifully built, taking the reader along for the rollicking ride. For added razzle-dazzle, you can even download a free DreemAR App and see the pages come to life.
There’s so much joy in this book, it’s enough to make those of us who have started to dread birthdays, slap on a party hat and send up our own cheer — hip hip hooray!
