Come and Play, Hippo - Hardcover

Kindergarten-Grade 3-- Thaler has returned with four more stories about Hippo ( It's Me, Hippo 1983 and Hippo Lemonade 1986, both HarperCollins), and beginning readers are sure to laugh out loud as he and his friends continue to stumble and bumble through the jungle. Children will enjoy their disagreements and compromises as well as Monkey's continual misunderstandings. Chambliss's watercolor-and-pen illustrations keep the eye focused on the action and humor; the bright colors and bold drawings make the book a candidate for small group readings. Come and Play, Hippo will warm up the funnybones of readers and listeners alike. An enjoyable addition to easy-to-read collections. --Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID
