Horn Book

A young boy opens a box of animal crackers and imagines giving away wild animals to family and friends. The illustrations, which have a stained-glass quality, show why each animal is the perfect gift for that particular person. This fine Spanish translation of 'I Had a Hippopotamus' contains a predictable, repetitive text that will appeal to beginning readers.

In it, Uncle gets the melodious coyote, best friend gets the speedy jaguar, and the lucky girl next door gets the reluctant wart hog. Best of all is the surprise that's left when the box is empty
