Horn Book (Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 CST 1995)

Sandra Boynton's exuberant, child-appealing board books have been standardized, with new typefaces and page designs and--in some regrettable cases--new pastel page backgrounds. The rougher, simpler, quirkier originals were far superior.

A hesitant hippo makes a big impact in this whimsical story about taking a chance from board book creator Sandra Boynton.

Follow along as this shy hippo observes spirited animals cavort in a bog, try on new hats, and go for a jog, all while longing to join in the fun. Building toward an exciting ending, readers will be cheering on the hippopotamus as it finds the courage to say YES to trying something new.

Then the animal pack
Comes scurrying back,
Saying, HEY! COME JOIN THE LOT OF US!
And she just doesn’t know—
Should she stay? Should she go?
But YES the hippopotamus!
