I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas: Great for Holiday and Christmas Reading or Gifting Hardcover – September 15, 2020

Such a cute book using the lyrics from the very old Christmas song! Colorful illustrations. I played the song several times on my cell phone and then my grandchildren and I try to sing through the book. Lots of fun!

We got this as a gift for someone who loves the song. The book is the lyrics to the song in book form with matching artwork. That doesn’t sound very special at first thought. The artwork makes this book highly worthwhile. The watercolors are beautiful, the way the artist brings images from the song to life is enchanting, and the emotion and bond between the little girl and the hippo is really heartwarming. If you like the song, get it!

Very cute book. Follows the song and includes the music! Nice

Cute book but pretty much just like the song

If you love the song, or love hippos this is a good book to share that love with a little one. The illustrations are fantastic! The story follows the song nicely and the song is printed in the back pages.

A great addition to "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" fans, as well as those simply looking for some table-top cheer!

Very vivid and beautiful artwork. There is a part or two where the words don’t match the original song!

My granddaughter loves this book
