Jane Yolen's Hippo Series

These are MAGNIFICENT!!!  I am always on the lookout for new "catchy" board books and leave it to Jane Yolen to start us off with a new series that is just superb!!  Her Hippo Board Books are now some of my new favorites!  One Hippo Hops, Hip Hippos, and Sad, Mad, Glad Hippos all are introduce us to the crazy hippos!  They focus on numbers, colors and feelings and, I hope, many other topics as well!  Vlasta van Kampen is the illustrator, and she just adds to the fun of these books.
