Little Hippo loves to pretend that he's all grown up. And playing doctor with all the other animals in the savannah is an excellent game until he tries to examine a ferocious lion. In this playful picture book by the author of the Froggy books, Little Hippo learns that Mama's medicine is the best of all. Full color.

School Library Journal

The cartoonlike illustrations are done in gouache and nicely complement the simple text. Children will relate to the feeling of being lost in a big person's world, and they will enjoy joining in to snap, sneeze, and roar with each animal that Little Hippo meets. A humorous addition for storytimes about mother-child relationships, animals, or imagination.

Publishers Weekly

Brazilian illustrator (Gilles) Eduar has an expressive, clear-line style and a quirky palette (palm trees come in a variety of shades); it's a whimsical counterpoint to London's matter-of-fact prose... if the reading prescription calls for sweet and simple, especially at bedtime, this may prove... effective.
