Summary
Yo! Yes? by Chris Raschka
Yo! Yes? tells the story of two young boys, each very different. Through their one and two-word exchanges, they consider spending time together despite their obvious differences. An offer of friendship is solidified in the end as both boys jump into the air and shout “Yow!” Beginning readers will enjoy connecting with the text and using the pictures to make inferences about the two boys.
Watch an online read aloud of Yo! Yes? here or listen to an audiobook here on Epic.
