Roosevelt is a shy, meek hippopotamus
with an overbearing older sister who is
always lurking to embarass him. She
calls Roosevelt "a blushful
hippopotamus" and continuously teases
him about his blushful nature.
Lombard,
Roosevelt's best friend, calls him a
"hopeful hippopotamus, a mindful
hippopotamus." Raschka creates a
delightful, uplifting tale using simply
bold images and poignant text. This
book is perfect for all children,
especially blushful ones.
