Summary: Outstanding book!
Review: We found this book in the bookstore, and my husband read it to our 2 1/2 year old who was totally enthralled by it. I have since read it myself and have just ordered it from amazon.com. It's a charming book, very well written and beautifully illustrated. The story is about a young hippo who is tired of being a hippo and wants to be something else. So he goes off and tries to be a variety of animals till he realizes that he really rather likes being a hippo after all. The story is quite funny as Portly the hippo has quite a few mishaps trying to be a rhino, a bat, a giraffe etc. I highly recommend this book to any parent who has a toddler. You both are sure to love it!!

Summary: Wonderful book , funny illustrations, a must read
Review: Wonderful original story about a little hippo who decides he no longer wants to be a hippo, so he sets out in the jungle to see what kind of animal he would like to be instead. Along the way he meets different types of animals and after each one he meets he decides that , that is the animal he is going to be. So he goes about trying to transform himself into the animal with hilarious attempts and wonderfully funny illustrations. This is a very enjoyable book for both children and adults, it has quickly become one of my son's favorite books. I'm sure that it will be a book that is asked for again and again.
