Description Share Post Hippo’s Garden Day Nicola Kent (Little Tiger Press) It seems that Lion’s garden’s a riot of wonder. However Hippo? Well his garden’s overgrown, in fact very overgrown. We can spin the wheel to pop flowers into Lion’s lawn and borders. However when we peep into the bushes to find Hippo, we see him hard at work. What a lot he has to do! In fact, Hippo is ‘off to the shed to get the tools‘. Thereafter he mows the lawn. We can slide the popper across to help Hippo in his work. Furthermore, we can flip the flap to see the ‘before and after‘ of the trimming Hippo undertakes! It’s Hippo’s Garden Day! Nicola Kent introduces a welcome addition to her beloved series for our youngest series that includes Croc’s Cooking Day. Not only is the story delightful, with entrancing characters, but there’s a chance for activity and discovery. For example, we help ‘water the plants’ through turning the wheel to ‘splash‘ from the watering can. We’ve noises to make as we water, too- ‘whoosh!‘ Then, what about picking the fruit? What fruit is upon the tree? Could it be that this bounty might be shared with a neighbour too? Bookwagon delights in this series. We are so happy to welcome aboard Hippo’s Garden Day.
