Hippos and Rhinos Can be Fun

A humorous fantasy illustrating how kids can have fun with hippos and rhinos. Suitable for children about 3-7 years. Eleven rhyming verses in limerick style, each elaborately illustrated in full color. A noisy rhino comes into our nice cake shop; We catch a rhino blowing his nose in a bedsheet to relieve a cold; Rhino is kicked off our schoolbus after we make a fuss; Fancy-dressed hippo comes into our general store–through the wall! We go to the zoo and jump into the pool to play with the hippos and rhinos; Rhino causes a panic in the supermarket shopping for cabbage and peas; Hippo surprises us at dawn with loud yawns after wandering onto our lawn and sleeping overnight; Hippo gets distracted on his cell phone and nearly tramples us; Hippo and rhino go dining in our nice restaruant and exchange insults with the waiter, while we laugh; We blast a rude hippo into the air with our sneezes; we all climb up on a rhino and laugh at his big nose.
