Review
On safari, an unseen narrator hopes to see/A hippo or two/Perhaps even three? Clever rhyming verse details the spectacular sights along the way, such as lions, chimpanzees, and sleepy leopards, ''Relaxing in tree''. This expansive tour of the African Plains is brought to life through Beaton's signature fabric applique collages. Gray felt elephants splash themselves clean with streams of water accented by silver beads. Crocodiles with shiny sequined scales lounge on a textured shore. The vibrant colors capture the hot, arid habitat. Observant readers will spot the''hidden hippo'' on each spread sometimes peeking up from the water, or disguised as a rock, or partially obscured by a tree. Endnotes include descriptions of the featured animals as well as information on recent efforts to protect endangered species. Young adventurers and conservationists alike will pore over this visually stunning story. --School Library Journal
This rhyming, interactive safari romp introduces animals of the African plains with Beaton's trademark full-page spreads created in decorative fabric and colorful felt applique...Succinct, informative paragraphs for each featured creature combine with a Meet the Hippo! page and information about the conservation efforts of various wildlife societies to complete this lively tour delivered in simple, easily recited verse. For flannel storyboards choices, this one provides some clear and basic ideas. A delightfully tame excursion. --Kirkus Review
