Hippo about Town

A hippo walks through town and sees different things or visits 6 different places, from the bakery to vegetable market, beverage, music, fruit and toy shop.

There is not much of a story, but the book is attractive, with 64 objects to identify, and preschoolers will enjoy pointing out different sights. Each object is spelled and pronounced by native English, German, Spanish and French.

The illustrations are colorful, the hippos that fill the busy scenes are appealing, and there is plenty for young readers to pore over.
