Hip Hippos is one of three wonderful new board books (2008) by Jane Yolen. Rythmic rhyming text and wonderful hippo art by Vlasta van Kampen will bring smiles to everyone. Also in this collection : One Hippo Hops, a whimsical counting book; and Sad Glad Mad hippos, in which hippos friends run the gamut of emotions in one day - just like real children!

From the author of Owl Moon and How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight comes an original series of board books! Meet the hippos—a lovable, zany crew ready to take the youngest reader on a rollicking ride through the world of numbers, colours and feelings. In Hip Hippos, readers are introduced to a rainbow of colours through the pachyderms’ sometimes bizarre and always-hilarious wardrobe choices. From bright red tank tops and purple flip-flops to yellow sweat suits and golden hip boots, these hippos are a stylish bunch! Featuring Jane Yolen’s delightful rhyming text and Vlasta van Kampen’s spectacular illustrations, each edition has been designed to appeal to the imagination of infants and toddlers. And with sturdy, board-book construction (complete with rounded edges), these classics will stand the test of time—and teething!
