Here Comes Firefighter Hippo

(3) PS Little 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.
