Summary: Full-color ink drawings evoke awe and the imagination
Review: Written and illustrated by Lena Landstrom, The New Hippos is a thoroughly enjoyable picture book story about adapting to new neighbors. When new hippos come, it causes consternation among the existing hippo families, but when the newcomer hippo kids disappear, it is up to the neighbor hippo kids to find them. Full-color ink drawings evoke awe and the imagination in this delightful tale which is ideal for children preschool through first grade.
