Hattie Hippo

32 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-439-54340-1 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Neubecker. Four short episodes feature Hattie as a ballerina, a picnic hostess, a backyard swimmer, and a hide-and-seeker; two end with Hattie falling asleep. Some lines of the narrative verses are superb ("Hattie Hippo / pirouettes / on teensy, tiny toes"). Spare, humorous pastel-hued watercolor and ink illustrations help tell the affectionate story of a little hippo who makes mistakes.
