Hippo and Monkey is a children’s picture book with a subtle moral about respecting one’s friends. Beautifully illustrated with sweeping, bold-outlined and hand-colored linoleum cuts, Hippo and Monkey follows two friends in the jungle. Hippo likes to do hippo things such as roar and splash water, and Monkey likes to do monkey things such as frolic in trees. Sometimes Hippo roars at Monkey! Monkey becomes fed up with Hippo’s periodic tantrums, and hatches a plan – he visits a human settlement and borrows a reflective “piece of the river”, so that the Hippo ca-n see what a fierce, roaring Hippo looks” like! “Hippo didn’t stop roaring or shaking around in the water because it was kind of fun… but Hippo never again roared at Monkey, and Monkey never again ignored Hippo.” A kindly, heartfelt story, Hippo and Monkey can also be used to teach young people not to yell directly at their friends and loved ones. Highly recommended.
