OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO moaned hippo

Hippo wakes up with a toothache. He spun in a circle and crashed into a tree. His friend the Cuckoo Bird sees this and thinks Hippo is going bananas. She flies off to tell Monkey.... This is cute story. What is fun is how each animal warned adds a new part to the story as he warns another. Kind of along the lines of the old telephone game where the original message gets distorted as it passed told over and over again. In the case of the Hippo, the message eventually becomes he is knocking down trees, rolling them into the river, damming the river and flooding the Serengeti. The artwork is cute. Especially the expressions and how the smaller animals ride the larger ones. Overall, it's a good book. Especially for learners as there are repetitive sentences.
My students loved this book!
