Customer Reviews

Fun, unique Christmas book!

I bought this as a gift for my best friend because "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" is her favorite Christmas song. She LOVED this. In fact, this was just a little side "stocking" gift, but she was so happy with it, none of the bigger gifts compared! A plus was that the music to the song in relatively simple form is published at the back of the book, so if you play an instrument, you can play the song!

Funny

If the song made you chuckle, then this book is for you. Fun to read to a child or just for your own pleasure.

wonderful book

In the town I used to live in, they kicked of the Christmas season by playing this song. Now every year I look forward to hearing it during the Christmas season. I was so pleased to find this book. I love it and so do my kids.

I Want A Hippotamus for Christmas

Great story! My 2 preschool classes loved it. I accompanied book with the song by Gayla Peevey and it added so much to the curriculum I was presenting.
