A group of hippos celebrate the one part of the body everyone has: the belly button. Sandra Boynton's board book is made of short, rhyming lines, accompanied by silly pictures of hippos, in which each page points to a part of the hippo's belly and what they can do with it. It keeps the rhythm bouncy and the vocabulary simple, with a comic final page that toddlers can chant along with.
It suits babies and toddlers who are starting to learn body parts and who like to hear rhymes read aloud. Parents will appreciate its sturdy format and a touch of humor that makes repeated reading painless.
Practical, outward-looking, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
