Little Hippo
An oxpecker lands on Little Hippo, and one bird is a fun friend to play with--until there's a whole flock bothering Little Hippo!
And where is Mama? Little Hippo has fallen behind as the herd grazes on African plains. Mama shoos away the birds, cheers up Little Hippo, and all is right again. A sweet story of youthful adventure and motherly love, told with short poetic rhyming lines and warm illustrations.
Written by preschool teacher Julie Abery and captured by Suzie Mason's beautiful artwork, this book in Little Animal Friends board book series will delight babies and toddlers and demand to be read again and again. Little Panda and Little Tiger in the same series were named to the CCBC Choices 2020 list for picture books for young readers.
