Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Happening hippos And for a merrier look at oversized animals, Sandra Boynton's Hippos Go Berserk!, first published in 1977, is reissued in a larger format with new colors. In this counting book, the phone call of one lonely hippo initiates a party: "One hippo, all alone,/ calls two hippos on the phone," and the number of guests snowballs. Boynton's cheerful artwork, familiar from the greeting cards she has designed as well as from numerous books, is as well suited for children as for mirth-minded adults.
Kirkus Reviews
Hippos Go Berserk (, paper Oct. 1, 1996; 32 pp.; 0- 689-80854-2, paper 0-689-80818-6): A 20-year-old counting book gets new illustrations featuring, once again, the solitary hippo who invites two friends to what becomes a wild party as groups of three, then four hippos (up to nine) arrive and then depart. Large numerals appear in the corners of the appropriate pages, where the hippos, wearing wonderfully varied expressions, cavort on large expanses of cheery color. Some of the humor will register only with adults, e.g., a hippo portrait pays homage to Whistler. Most of the fun will make perfect sense to preschoolers; give this to a slightly younger audience than those who love Jeff Sheppard's The Right Number of Elephants (1990).

Meet the Author

Sandra Boynton
Sandra Boynton

Sandra Boynton is a popular American humorist, songwriter, children's author and illustrator. Boynton has written and illustrated more than forty books for both children and adults, as well as over four thousand greeting cards, and four music albums. Although she does not license her characters to be redrawn or adapted, she has herself designed—for various companies—calendars, wallpaper, bedding, stationery, paper goods, clothing, jewelry, and plush toys.

Biography

In the 1980s, it was hard to enter a gift shop without seeing Sandra Boynton's name. Her humorous pen-and-watercolor cartoons of hippos, ewes, and her famous turkeys (you know, symbolizing the human ones in life who can get you down) were emblazoned on cards, mugs, stickers, stationery...and of course, her wonderful, wacky books, the first of which was 1979's Hippos Go Berserk! .

Boynton began her career as a greeting card illustrator with aspirations of theater directing; but having a family changed her focus, and she began devoting herself full-time to art. Her board books, filled with goofy animal illustrations and rhyming verse, are toddler staples. But their appeal to adults is undeniable, and she has also written a number of humor books for the general public.

Given the rhythmic, buoyant style of her writing, it was only natural that Boynton would become involved in companion music to her books. From the '90s on, several of her titles included accompanying CDs, culminating in the 2002 release of Philadelphia Chickens, a CD-book extravaganza written with composer Michael Ford and featuring musical performances by several high-profile stars.

Who knows what lies ahead for this irrepressible force of nature? If there's one thing Sandra Boynton has proved in the course of her remarkably diverse career, it's that she's not lost her capacity to surprise us. (Thank heavens!)

    My son loves this book!!

    My son is 17 months and he loves this book! Everytime I read it he laughs and asks for me or my husband to read it again and again. It is one of his favorites. I would give this book to anyone with a small child because the illustrations get their attention and the voices you can use while reading it just make it more fun.

    All the babies go beserk

    This book is one of our daughter's favorite two books. She's 5 1/2 months old now and she loves this book. When we get to the central line, "all the hippos go beserk," our daughter laughs and smiles. In fact, anytime we're playing or talking to her, we just have to say that line and she starts to laugh.

    I read it to my 3 month niece when we were babysitting and she loves it as well.

    We experiment with different voices for each number of hippos, and we point out the small details, i.e. bowtie, party hats, flowers. As she grows, we hope it helps her to be an engaged and observant reader. But for now, she just loves to hear this book.

    Yes. A definite must have.

    Together with 'Bears in the Night,' this is a book that continues to be fun to read because you and your child can read it in a multitude of animated voices.

    My favorite book from childhood, and still charming

    Looking at _Hippos Go Berserk_ even now, I can't help smiling. Great for kids, and Boynton fan parents will enjoy it as well. A good new-baby gift as well.
