Review
"a laugh aloud introduction to verse...With bold outlines and strong colour this will appeal to three-to five-year-olds." "The lilting repetitive text echoes the enjoyment shared by the hippo and his hostess: the page turns beautifully punctuate the story, the space on each spread fully inhabited by the bold expressive illustrations, revelling in the hippo's size in contrast to his small companion. An exuberant yet reassuring book for sharing." "The playful, half rhyming text is cleverly structured with ` Because...' used to link action and reaction both of which are amusingly portrayed in Cardon' s comical mixed media scenes." "Fun knockabout humour, glorious illustrations, we realised we don't see enough hippos in books!" "This is a really fun book to read, and makes for a very entertaining way to pass some time with the kids."
