Elmer and the Hippos

32 pp. | Andersen | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7613-6442-9 $16.95
(4) K-3 The elephants get upset when hippos move into their river. Patchwork elephant Elmer, put in charge of finding out why the hippos' river has dried up, enlists both hippos and elephants to help remove a pile of rocks blocking the water. McKee's story, while a little heavy with its compromise-and-teamwork message, still manages to entertain with vivid, lively illustrations.
