This book has really adorable pictures. The hippos are out doing all sorts of activities while wearing a vareity of colorful clothes. The lines mostly rhyme, which is fun for reading aloud. Unfortunately, the end sort of peters out (and doesn't use the same rhyming scheme), which left me disappointed. Still, this book is cute enough and will make a good present for one of the young people in my life.
