5.0 out of 5 stars the best, best book for toddlers, 28 Jan 1998
By A Customer
Hi, my name is Jared and I am four. My sisters and I love Sandra Boynton and But Not The Hippopotamus is our favorite. We could read the book to mom when we were two. We even showed it to our cousins and they loved it too. *jared

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pick for baby; great gift idea, 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This is one of my favorite books to read to my son now 11 months. The ryming flow of the story gives this book it's good rythm. The author does a good job of keeping the story simple with a nice ryming flow that is not over done. It holds the adults attention as well as the childs. There are just enough words per page as my son looks at the pictures and turns the pages while I am reading to him.

I have the board book and highly recommend this type of book. It encouranges interaction from the child allowing them to turn the pages and look at the pictures without tearing the pages. I have found that my son is quite interested most of Boynton's books. I have read to him from a very early age and he will often pick up her books and page through them and bring them over to me to read them to him.

Boynton's books were recommended to me at a hospital sponsored child education class and I highly recommend them to you. They make great gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parents have as much fun as their children reading this!, 25 Nov 1996
By A Customer
Sandra has a gift for creating books that appeal not just to children, but to the parents who read the books. My 2 year old nephew has them all memorized, and my 15 month old son picks them out of his innumerable book collection for me to read to him. There isn't a better book to help children learn that reading is fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars parents will enjoy reading this one too
Not your typical board book that's more of a bored book. Funny plot and ending. Great drawings if you like her style, and my daughter loves the colors.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's cute...but not up to the Boynton standard.
I love the Boynton books, but I must say, this is my least favorite. Cute rhymes, but I am just not as big a fan of this one.
