Review Summaries

• Readers value the warmth of the family portrait and the use of the window motif. Because it is a quiet book, it suits readers who enjoy atmosphere more than plot twists.

• タイトルからして洋書のようだ。

  買ったはいいが、小生なにぶん英語が読めない。 一ヶ月でイッページを目標に、頑張ってみたはいいが、何分小生飽きっぽさに掛けては他の追随を許さない。よってして最初の一ヶ月で音を上げた次第。されども明日から頑張ろうと思ったりしてみたりはするのだけれども、其れが出来るかどうかは、神のみぞが知る処であると言わざるを得ないと云う事実を正面から受け止め、精進しようと思う次第。

• Our elementary school used this as a gift to our grandparents. They loved it.

• loved this book. so did my three year old

• Je trouve que l'histoire est pleine d'imagination, je pense que cela plairait aux enfants, surtout les enfants des familles mixtes.

• Do you have a Hello, Goodbye Window? If you don't then you certainly need one, or rather two - the book and the actual window. JR and I discovered the book at our local public library. After holding on to it for as long as we could, we sadly had to one day return it. So sad to have had to part with it, I decided to purchase a copy for my home library. Now it is one of the most read books in our house, and I am consistently glad to have made that addition. The book is narrated by a young girl who loves to go to her Nanna and Poppy's house. The kitchen window there is no ordinary window–it is the place where life happens. Through the window, the character watch stars, check the weather, wait for visitors, look out the garden and, most importantly, say hello and goodbye. The book is in prose format but very easy to follow. The first-person text is simple, the vocabulary ordinary but rich, and the story paints a perfectly child-centered world.
