![]() The competition begins, and the reader is pitted against a flurry of creatures (a kangaroo joey and its mother, a snake, an octopus), until we are paired with an elephant against whom we had trained. To win the competition, he warns, the reader will need flare. Sensei walks the reader through the best techniques for high fiving. We are first introduced to our trainer, a yeti-ish creature called Sensei with a bunch of trophies on his shelves. This story enters the reader into a high five competition. I think this book would be better one-on-one and one-on-one between a reader and a listening child with whom the reader already has a playful relationship. I had only one little friend who was willing to high five the pages, and I had to do so first the first few times that the book required before he wanted to join in the interactive fun. I feared that every kid would want to high five the page as required by the story. As a note, I read this first to myself and then to a crowd of children, but always with the idea of reading it to a crowd and dreading reading it to a crowd. I… kind of expected better from the creators of Dragons Love Tacos and Dragons Love Tacos 2. ![]() ![]() Review originally published on my blog, Nine Pages. ![]()
