This week's Star Reader is Spencer! Congratulations!
Our last Book of the Week was "Bear Despair", by Gaëtan Dorémus.
Our next Book of the Week is, "The Blue Hippopotamus", by Phoebe Gilman.
"A young hippo falls madly in love with an Egyptian princess. Desperate to be
with her, the hippo asks a magician to change him into "something she could
love." The magician reveals that he's unable turn a hippo into a human, but can
turn him into a toy, and he grants the hippo the power to turn himself back into
his real self whenever he chooses. The excited hippo accepts this offer, and
becomes the princess's new toy — but will this be enough?
Based on a story by Joan Grant, this is Phoebe Gilman's long-awaited final
book. The illustrations by Joanne Fitzgerald are inspired by the sketches Phoebe
drew before her death in 2002." - North Winds Press
Stay tuned for our next Star Reader and Book of the Week!
