Did a very large hippo try to borrow your shoes??

I am very fond of Sandra Boynton’s books. Happy Hippo, Angry Duck made me cry when I read it for the first time in a post natally depressed haze. We also spent some months with her music albums on repeat.

There is so much terrible verse in children’s books. My favourite for the sheer delight is Margaret Mahy’s Bubble Trouble (“Little Mabel blew a bubble/And it caused a lot of trouble”), which is just a pleasure to read.
