Description
"Elliott's cup runneth over with good cheer in this rhymed toast to people - and not just the two-legged variety. . . . Will have listeners calling for another round." - Kirkus Reviews Here's to the birds and the bears and the bugs! Here's to the weird and wacky, the cute and creepy! From toothy fish to get-you-when-you're-sleeping cats to lick-lick-lick-lick-lick-lick dogs, every creature is unique and lovable . . . especially you! David Elliott's infectiously joyful poem and Randy Cecil's brilliant, amusing artwork invite us to celebrate the world's vast diversity - and feel pretty happy with our place in it, too.
Author Biography
David Elliott is the author of THE COOL CRAZY CRICKETS and THE TRANSMOGRIFICATION OF ROSCOE WIZZLE. He says of AND HERE'S TO YOU!, "My neighbor's rooster and I were having a disagreement. I wanted to sleep in the morning; he wanted to crow. The rooster won, of course. The first verse of AND HERE'S TO YOU! is a tribute to his victory and to the joys found in simply following your nature." Randy Cecil is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and has illustrated many books for children, including ONE IS A SNAIL, TEN IS A CRAB by April Pulley Sayre and Jeff Sayre. Of AND HERE'S TO YOU!, he says, "It's about time that the eels and wasps got to join in on the fun with the bears and kittens!"
