Title: Cute story
Review: The story is cute, and I love the lesson of working together to solve a problem. The rhymes are contrived with non-sensical words, but my nearly 5 year old loves the story.

Title: Hiccups
Review: The illustrations are so good. The nonsense words made me laugh so hard reading this to my son that I also developed the hiccups! The last 4 pages were hilarious as I had to continue reading with hiccups.

Review: This is a super cute book. I originally took it out of our public library for my young daughter. She loved the bright colours, cute pictures and funny words, and I just loved how cute and catchy the rhyming verses were. It is a fun read, and although the words are often really silly, it is an adorable book that begs to be read over and over. As a plus, the drawings and colouring are just beautiful and vibrant. I think this is one of those board books that you wouldn’t necessarily pick up or know about, but it is a definite addition to any toddler board book library, in my opinion (as a mom and a teacher!)

Review: I loved how fun and colourful the art was. The story was simple but punny. It made me laugh and was plain enjoyable to read. I found the cast bios at the end an enjoyable read I wasn’t expecting as I haven’t seen that before. All in all it was a great read 5 stars.

Review: Hippos are my favorite animal so when this popped up on my Kindle Unlimited, I decided to check it out even though I have no kids. It was just the pick me up I needed! The last pages are a hilarious addon for adults, too.It was so unique and I loved it so much I’m buying it for every kid I know.
