Book excerpt: Ernie the Easter Hippopotamus ─ is a wildly comical tale of a young hippopotamus with a very special talent: to make brightly colored, "naturally hard-boiled," eggs. This soon gets him into big trouble with the other hippopotamuses, and he is forced to leave his African river home on a journey that eventually brings him to America, where he happily becomes the “Easter Hippopotamus,” and continues making eggs for little girls and boys. The book is longer than most children's picture books, with some 57 profusely illustrated pages, including a newly added five-page note about real hippopotamuses. It is intended both for young readers 6 to 8, and as a read-to book for younger children from age 2-5.
