Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1. A boy's imagination runs "wild" as he sits on a curb eating his way through a box of animal crackers. The bold watercolor and gouache artwork extends the simple story line as the crackers spring to life. The child thinks about family and friends he would like to share them with and, in each case, fantasizes about how the people would interact with an elephant, hippo, anaconda, or rhinoceros. He decides to keep an adorable kitten for himself. The creatures assume comical poses as they adapt to their new habitats. This fine quality Spanish translation reads aloud well and makes an entertaining storyhour selection.?Marisa Parish, NYPL

Quality in a Spanish Children's Book,
By
This review is from: Yo Tenia Un Hipopotamo (Spanish Edition) (Board book)
So many children's book read like translations, but here is one that is fun, creative, and reads like someone wrote it in Spanish. Even in Spanish speaking countries it is hard to fine books for children, especially children under five, that are not translations from other languages.YO TENIA UN HIPOPOTAMO has my two and a half year old squealing for joy as the boy in the story gives away different animals to family and freinds, and in the process learns some great vocabulary. The illustrations are also fun. This is a book that will hold a childs interest whether they be 1 1/2 or 4.

What a beautiful book! (Un qué libro hermoso!),
By "tlaloc7" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yo Tenia Un Hipopotamo (Spanish Edition) (Board book)
Nuestro hijo tiene este libro, y es uno de sus preferidos. Puede ser difícil encontrar un libro de los niños de la calidad en español y por un autor de habla hispana cuando usted está en un país de discurso no-español, pero usted encontrará uno en este título. Además, las ilustraciones son muy hermosas mirar, y el texto introduce no solamente muchos diversos animales, pero también muchas diversas palabras españolas para las relaciones (vecino, abuela, primo, etc).Dos pulgares para arriba (y cinco estrellas)!
