Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Just perfect for beginning readers is this enchantingly simple story wherein the hippos picnic and play hide-and-seek. Susan Ganter's summery waterside scenes, especially those of Sophie and Jack ridiculously 'unhidden' in their hiding places, till the final turn anyway, are utterly beguiling.
