Poetry Friday: Say Hello Like This!

Here's a little hello for Poetry Friday. The beetles really got me: tip tap tip tap tip tap. :~)

"A dog hello
is licky
and loud...
like this!
bow-wow wow-wow!

A cat hello
is prissy
and proud...
like this!
purrrrr...meow

Half-page flaps show the animals meeting and then with a turn they greet each other. The closing rhyme invites a hello from the reader. Celebrate Poetry Friday with a great, big Mary Murphy hello!
