(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ada Grey. Hearing a bubbling from the creek, Mouse is inspired to squeak along. The rhythm soon has a bird, centipede, monkey, warthog, and crocodile jamming, too, until Hippo, whose submarine hiccups started it all, pops out of the water to claim some credit. Dynamic, colorful illustrations and cumulative, chorus-encouraging onomatopoetic lines largely make up for those rhythms and rhymes that stumble a bit.
