My Daughter's FAVORITE!

I picked this up at a book store and giggled at the final line..."but not the armadillo" and just had to get it for my 3 year old. It has since become her favorite book by far! My husband began reading it to her when we tucked her in for the night, and she too giggled at the story. Now she pretty much has it memorized and reads it to us! Too funny hearing a 3 year old trying to say "hippopotamus". She even uses inflection in her voice when she recites "Hey! *mumble mumble* of us!" and "But YES! The *mumble mumble* -mus!" And her dad and I still giggle when she says "*mumble mumble* -dillo." Heehee. Then she says "THE END!" And puts it on her "nightstand" (really just her toy kitchen) and says "Night night!" *Sigh* what a great way to end the day. Just a precious book.

More perfection from Boynton!!!

Not only does Sandra Boynton understand toddlers, but she understands us big kids too- and how to get us to read to our kids! I love her books, sometimes I wonder who the bigger Boynton fan in this house is- me or my 2 1/2 year old! This book is no exception. I highly agree with the reviewer that said to read the dedication in the front- do that first- you'll love the book that much more. This is a truly sweet and funny story and it's great for kids of all ages, especially those who feel a little left out.

Say yes to the Hippopotamus!

My 2 year old niece loves this book. She has somehow become "fixed" on hippos for the moment and she really enjoys this story. The poor little hippo keeps peeking until he is finally included in the fun. A good message for all children to hear. Boynton is a talented children's author, the illustrations are delightful. I can't say enough about her books!

Wonderful book

I have loved this book since first reading it to my nephew years ago. I have now purchased it for my daughter who stares fascinated (she's 4 mos) and will love it too soon enough I'm sure!

Another Winner

Yet another winner by Sandra Boynton. The kids love it. They are quick reads, but easy for little ones to learn.
