The Hippopotamus Song: A Muddy Love Story

by Michael Flanders, Donald Swann, Nadine Bernard Westcott (Illustrator)

This offbeat invitation might not appeal to most, but to a fair hippopotama nothing could be harder to resist - especially when it issues from the mouth of a charming hippoputamus. This book tells about the muddy escapades that result once these lovesick hippos succumb to each other's charms.

I loved this cute little rhyme about courting hippos.

The illustrations are fun and cartoon-y.
