The Hiccupotamus (Hiccupotamus and Friends)

Such a cute story. Quick read. Fun & funny. I will definitely be reading this one to my kids again very soon.

Cute book and colorful illustrations !

This delightful animated story with creative words and problem solving! Love the brightly colored illustrations that took me on a journey of a hippopotamus’s friends. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a creative story. All ages of entertainment.

I liked the book because it was really fun because there was so much hicupping. I think hicupping is really funny. - Kevin, 8yr old

This was really fun to read good for kids who love animals

This is a cute story and will have the kids laughing with the nonsense rhyming throughout! The hiccuping hippocampus and his friends try everything to cure him of his hiccups! The illustrations add to the silliness of this book and give detail and personality to the story!! The book has a nice fully illustrated dust cover to protect the fully illustrated hard cover! The reinforced binding gives me confidence this book will last along time!

This is a really colorful book perfect for grabbing a babys attention. Easy to read. Perfect book for babies of all ages. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book to my daughter. It was the cutest funniest little story and actually made me laugh so hard. And she was laughing because I was laughing.

This really is a silly book, and if you are all wrapped up in being perfect - you won't like it. But kids love the silliness and have fun as both the adult and they learn how to say these extra silly words! I had a blast with my adult daughter trying to read it, and her daughter had fun with her mommy having a hard time getting those silly words to flow off her tongue. Does it all make sense? No, it's silly and only meant to rhyme and be totally goofy. I get to spend some quality time with my 4 yr. old granddaughter as we go through the book, and she stops and asks questions - as this book does need a little explaining as to what is happening, as the silly words are a bit confusing - but I think that is also part of the books appeal, spending one on one time with a child as they learn to question things and develop a playful imagination. The last section of the book tells a story about each character, which is a little strange, but one of my granddaughters' favorite parts of the book, and we can flip back and talk more about each character.

This is a super cute book. I originally took it out of our public library for my young daughter. She loved the bright colours, cute pictures and funny words, and I just loved how cute and catchy the rhyming verses were. It is a fun read, and although the words are often really silly, it is an adorable book that begs to be read over and over. As a plus, the drawings and colouring are just beautiful and vibrant. I think this is one of those board books that you wouldn't necessarily pick up or know about, but it is a definite addition to any toddler board book library, in my opinion (as a mom and a teacher!)

I got the kindle version, but I can't wait for the paperback

A funny and cute take for younger children. Very nicely illustrated. I loved the cast bio at the end. Recommended.

I loved how fun and colourful the art was. The story was simple but punny. It made me laugh and was plain enjoyable to read. I found the cast bios at the end an enjoyable read I wasn't expecting as I haven't seen that before. All in all it was a great read 5 stars.

Hippos are my favorite animal so when this popped up on my Kindle Unlimited, I decided to check it out even though I have no kids. It was just the pick me up I needed! The last pages are a hilarious addon for adults, too. It was so unique and I loved it so much I'm buying it for every kid I know.
