Hippo has a Hat is wonderfully illustrated with humour and rhyme cleverly intertwined into the story. The book follows different animals in a dress shop trying to find outfits for a party – most of which don’t fit quite right at the start.
If your kids like dressing up this will really appeal to them. Hippo has a Hat is also great for reinforcing animal and clothing names and the last page has everyone on it so you can spend plenty of time spotting the characters in their finery.
The sentences are short so easy for the kids to remember so that they can feel like they are reading along with you.
