When I Woke Up I Was a Hippopotamus

32 pp. | Andersen | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7613-8099-3 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ross Collins. Imaginative rhymed text and energetic mixed-media illustrations depict a day in the life of a boy who changes into whatever creature or thing best represents his mood: a lazy hippo who won't get out of bed; a monkey who's cheeky at school. The tables are turned when his parents make a transformation of their own: dragons. Satisfying silliness.
