From Publishers Weekly:
Martin ( Chicka Chicka Boom Boom ) and Everitt ( Frida the Wondercat ) introduce some hippos who just wanna have fun, and they certainly have precisely that on their "hippoholiday" at the beach. Playful rhymed couplets describe how the hippopotami spend their day. Some lie on the sand in gaily colored bathing suits: "Like a stretch of granite boulders / Except, of course, for sunburned shoulders." While "hippopotamamas" give their children snacks and "hippopotapoppas" visit the "candy shoppas," "hippopotadaughters" swim and "hippopotasons" squirt water guns. Most lovable of all are the "hippopotapooses": hippo toddlers who stuff their pockets with jelly "sandywiches." Seeming to spill off the pages in their jollity, Everitt's spirited illustrations are sure to endear these playful creatures to kids--who will have as much fun as the hippos do. Ages 4-8. ( Apr.
