A charming and comical tall tale a young hippopotamus with a very special talent -- to make brightly colored "naturally hard-boiled" eggs. This gets him into big trouble with the other hippopotamuses, and he is forced to leave home on a journey that eventually brings him to America, where he happily becomes the "Easter Hippopotamus." If you are not yet familiar with this modern classic, you should be. With some 54 beautifully illustrated pages, it is almost twice as long as most modern children's picture books, but not a word or picture is wasted. The book is excellent both for young readers, and as a read-to book for children as young as three. (Ages 3-5 and 6-9)
