Herbert on the Slide by Rilla Alexander

angiew23's review

4.0

This picture book tells the story of a hippo who enjoys his time on a slide. Pages include 1-3 short lines of text, usually black text on light coloured backgrounds. The concept and content is very easy to follow and there is some expressive text like "chug chug chug" to add colour and interest to the page. The illustrations are very simple and coloured in a crayon texture, appearing to be done by a child almost. It is a simple, colourful book that I think young children will enjoy. I would recommend this book to parents of children in the age 3-5 range. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Simple, direct book about a young hippo enjoying the slide on the playground. Nothing terribly earth-shaking or imaginative
