Hippo! No, Rhino!

32 pp. | Little | July, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-316-15573-X $15.99
(2) K-3 When a clueless zookeeper puts the wrong sign in front of Rhino's enclosure, the temperamental creature can't stand to be mistaken for a hippo. The minimal text is related through signs and speech balloons, but it is Newman's offbeat, color-mad illustrations, in a retro style reminiscent of Roger Duvoisin, that tell the story. Different typefaces, colors, and other graphic elements gleefully signal mood and build tension.
