READ REVIEWS

"I purchased this book for my newborn child. I purchased the coloring book version, since newborns more easily see contrasting colors (e.g. black & white). Reading this story has become our nightly bedtime ritual. My child is always smiling when looking at the pictures as I read the story to him. He also seems to enjoy the fun rhymes from the story. Outside of our bedtime routine, whenever he is having a rough moment during the day, I pull out Hippo Hullabaloo and he is quickly all smiles when he starts to focus on the cute illustrations and listening to the rhyming of the text. This is a fun book that I highly recommend!" ~ reviewed by Allison Rice-Palmer at Amazon [FIVE STARS]

"My little ones loved hearing the poems before pulling out their markers to color the drawings. They've enjoyed all of this author's works." ~ reviewed by William R. Mitchell at Amazon [FIVE STARS]

"Hippo Hullabaloo is a fantastic picture book that is both entertaining and educational. The story shows children that often people can be so in having fun that they forget about others. A glossary is provided of words used in the story that may be unfamiliar to younger readers. Real facts about hippos give adults information they can present to youngsters. Highly recommended." ~ reviewed by Chuck Kienzle from Pennwriters [FIVE STARS]
