Hippo uses his manners to help a little chick.
For the youngest learners, this fun, cheerful read-aloud helps guide a child’s first steps in learning and growing and promotes manners, recognition, speaking skills and first words. Good manners are pure genius!
Cute. I’m always on the look out for fun ways to introduce manners to my toddler. This book is bright in color and simple in phrases that I’m sure she’ll repeat over and over again after a few reads. Reading this book and seeing the squished places that Hippo gets into and needs to get out reminds me of a day of shopping in London. Excuse Me!
I read this via an egalley through NetGalley.
