Review: Five Stars - FANTASTIC
Review: Five stars for the book and story; however, the dust cover was slightly ripped on the upper outside corner. Since the book itself was not damaged in any way a small bit of clear tape solved the problem and the book was giftable for my grandson. Thanks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***Y on 26 January 2024*

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!
