Doughty, Rebecca. Oh No! Time to Go! A Book of Goodbyes. Schwartz & Wade, 2009. $15.99. A boy explains the different ways to say “hello” and “goodbye” from Grandma’s “Later, gator” to a dog’s growl. When it’s time to leave his friends and come home for dinner, he yells that he won’t go. Then he explains that the worst goodbye is when a friend moves; however, the boy realizes that although it is hard to say goodbye, there is always a new person to meet. The illustrations have a Shel Silverstein-like feel, but with color. On the moving day illustration, you can see a very small “plumber’s crack” on the moving man. EL-ADVISABLE.
