It's a Baby Hippopotamus!

(4) K-3 SandCastle: Baby African Animals series. A clean, inviting design frames the text in this early reader series. Group names, special habits, diet, and predators are covered, though some explanations are unsatisfying and at times the facts seem too loosely strung together. Occasional sidebars support the text and/or the clear photographs. "Vital Statistics" and "Fun Facts" are useful for making comparisons among the animals. Glos. Review covers these SandCastle: Baby African Animals titles: It's a Baby Baboon!, It's a Baby Hippopotamus!, and It's a Baby Lion!
