Hip, Hip, Hooray for Annie McRae
reS-Gr 1-With a charming, missing-tooth smile, turquoise cowboy boots, and red pigtails that Pippi Longstocking would envy, Annie McRae dances through her day loved by the adults around her. Her family and teachers praise her constantly with a chant: "Hip, hip, hooray for Annie McRae!" Then one day, her parents and teacher are preoccupied and unresponsive, so the child toots her own horn. She shouts: "Hip, hip, hooray for Annie McRae!" Crackling text that begs to be read aloud is matched with colorful and inviting illustrations. Bright happy pictures, a winning refrain, and a charismatic heroine will make this book a "trail-blazin', whip-snappin'" storytime choice.Kate McLean, DeKalb County Public Library, Tucker, GACopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
