Bridget Strevens-Marzo.
After Baby Hippo forgets to kiss his mother one morning, he notices animal children kissing their parents everywhere he goes--"through the squelchy, squelchy mud," "around the bumpy, bumpy rocks," and so on. At last, Hippo remembers and hurriedly retraces his steps. The genial illustrations for this appealing repetitive tale show a rotund Hippo making his way past a variety of African animals.
