This is one of the best chidren's books I have ever read to my sons. I enjoy reading it as much as they enjoy listening and looking at the pictures.

The person who gave this book such a low rating obviously did not pay much attention to the story. It is a terrific story about having the courage to avoid getting discouraged, and being very happy with the outcome.

This is one of my favorite books to read to my son now 11 months. The ryming flow of the story gives this book it's good rythm. The author does a good job of keeping the story simple with a nice ryming flow that is not over done. It holds the adults attention as well as the childs. There are just enough words per page as my son looks at the pictures and turns the pages while I am reading to him.

I have the board book and highly recommend this type of book. It encouranges interaction from the child allowing them to turn the pages and look at the pictures without tearing the pages. I have found that my son is quite interested most of Boynton's books. I have read to him from a very early age and he will often pick up her books and page through them and bring them over to me to read them to him.

Boynton's books were recommended to me at a hospital sponsored child education class and I highly recommend them to you. They make great gifts.

This wonderful story book has colorful pictures, exciting rhymes, and sturdy pages for the very young child. In addition, it has a deeper theme for slightly older children. Adults reading to the child can use the situation of the hippopotamus to aply to socialization issues a child may be facing. Sandra Boynton's characters are charming, and her humor transcends the generations.

Niedliche Geschichte, teilweise jedoch etwas erzwungene Verse. Für erste Englischkontakte im Vorkindergarten oder Kindergartenalter für nicht-englischsprachige Kinder aber wie alle Boynten-Bücher hervorragend geeignet. Die Aufmerksamkeit der Kinder wird durch die ansprechenden und sehr klaren Bilder hervorragend unterstützt.

The best board book I have ever seen. Plot twists and a surprise ending fit into 14 pages!

It is a story of triumph and glee- not about being left out.

Great pictures and even better rhymes.

If my son could have only one board book this would be the one.

Ein weiteres tolles Buch von Sandra Boynton, von der wir bei bisher rund 10 englischen Kinderbüchern nicht enttäuscht wurden. Eine schöne Geschichte mit, von ihr gewohnter, Bebilderung. Insgesamt ein absolut zu empfehlendes englisches Kinderbuch. Wir werden definitiv auch weiterhin auf einige ihrer Bücher zurückgreifen.

PS: Ja, es ist die gleiche Bewertung, wie bei einigen anderen Kinderbüchern von ihr. Aber warum das Rad neu erfinden?

Not your typical board book that's more of a bored book. Funny plot and ending. Great drawings if you like her style, and my daughter loves the colors.

I love the Boynton books, but I must say, this is my least favorite. Cute rhymes, but I am just not as big a fan of this one.

What a wonderful story! I never thought that my almost 2-year old would say "hippopotomus" and "armadillo" but he does! And when the hippo joins in, he puts his arms in the air and yells "But YES, the hippopotomus," then saddens slightly as we finish with, "But not the armadillo." It's definetely a five-star book.

Hi, my name is Jared and I am four. My sisters and I love Sandra Boynton and But Not The Hippopotamus is our favorite. We could read the book to mom when we were two. We even showed it to our cousins and they loved it too. *jared
