Humongous Hippopotamus by Michael Wills is a funny, yet effective book for young people to learn about the animal. In between activities to which kids can relate there are facts about hippos and is written in such a way that learning takes place in an easy, fun way. Wills compares such facts as a hippo's size and eating habits to a child's sleepover and a game of hide-and-seek. It is a quick read, but highly informative and would appeal to children of varying age since the hippo is an unusual and fascinating animal.
