PSLittle Hippo Story series.
Illustrated by
Gilles Eduar.
In this chaser to Here Comes Doctor Hippo, Little Hippo is pretending to play firefighter when he's surprised by a tree on fire for real; he enlists Elephant's help in putting out the blaze. There are no twists, no tricks--just straight-ahead storytelling. The satisfyingly uncomplicated illustrations seem to bear de Brunhoff's influence, down to Little Hippo's Zephir-like monkey companion.
