We are huge fans of the Elephant and Piggie series and Frog and Toad series. They are staples in our households, so when we read these books, we were truly delighted! Duck and Hippo show readers that opposites attract—and they make for a wonderfully fun adventure. Ricki read this book with her three-year-old, and he was giggling hysterically at the drawings. It’s a winner.
The charming story will capture readers from beginning to end, and the language is written in a way that will be very helpful for beginning readers. It takes a lot of skill for an author to write text that is humorous and engaging yet also helpful for beginning readers to master language. London does this perfectly.We will be hanging on to these books tightly as we wait for our sons to be a bit older to learn to read. We recommend you get your hands on this book because it will surely be a popular series in classrooms.

This would be a great example of prepositions and prepositional phrases. This one didn't hold a lot of magic for me, personally. It's cute, it's sweet, but not extremely engaging for myself personally.

Cute read!
We really enjoyed this book! We enjoyed hearing about Duck and Hippo sharing the umbrella. My 4 year old was amused by them going down the river riding in the umbrella. My 5 month old enjoyed the pictures and my reading the sound effects. This is a great choice for all ages!

This sweet story is from the author of the beloved Froggy stories, a mainstay through my son's early reader years. Duck comes to visit her friend Hippo and they are off on walk in a rainstorm sharing, or at least trying to share, Duck's umbrella. Their friendship survives the adventures in wind and rain and with a second book is due out this summer, their friendship is sure to be keeper. The story is fun and kids will enjoy it, but the true gem of this story is the artwork that hearkens back to retro first grade primers. This is a book both children and their parents are sure to enjoy.
