A fantastic romp to read aloud but it would also be wonderful to share so the nuances in the illustrations can be fully appreciated. Recommended. -- Magpies (AUS)
Buoyant fun for the very young -- Kirkus Reviews (US)
Kids will ask for it again and again just for the pure joy of joining in the hippo hunt... I highly, highly recommend this book. -- Storywraps (US)
