“With gorgeous mixed-media illustrations and accessible, engaging language, this picture book will spur interest in the world of hippos.” — School Library Journal (starred review) The deadliest animal in Africa isn’t the lion or the crocodile — it’s the hippopotamus! Hippos have razor-sharp tusks, weigh as much as fifty men, and can run twenty-five miles per hour. Follow these hefty hulks as they glide underwater, play tug-of-war, swat balls of dung at one another, and nuzzle their young in the mud. Just don’t get too close — they could chomp you in two!

A shy robot falls in love and works up the courage to speak to its crush.

A class trip to the zoo descends into a chaotic hunt for the missing hippopotamus. Teacher, zookeeper and all the children join the search. The noise and drama reaches a pitch, and no one thinks to listen to quiet Liam, who really might know where the hippo is hiding. That's Not a Hippopotamus is a deft and delightful tale, packed with word play and madcap energy--and with a whole different story to enjoy in the illustrations.

From the moment when one hippo calls his friends over for a party to the climactic moment when all the hippos really do go berserk, the action in this funny book never lets up--even when the party's over and all the hippos go their separate ways. First published in 1977 and now formatted with an expansive design and bold, new vibrant colors, Hippos Go Berserk! offers inspired silliness. Full color. Copyright © Libri GmbH.
