A Hippo's Tale

32 pp. | Farrar/R&S | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-91-29-66603-8 $15.00
(3) K-3 Translated by Joan Sandin. In order to maintain solitude, handy Mrs. Hippopotamus builds a private bathhouse for herself. Turns out, though, that if you build a high place over the river, young hippos will want to come and jump from it. Mrs. H's compromise, which allows her to stay true to herself, pairs well with Landström's muted ink and watercolor art.
