Cake Eating Hippo books
Hippo is a book friend who is always available.
The continuing popularity of the cake-eating hippo character, comes from the reassurance offered in the stories. Everybody would like a friend who supports when you are nervous about trying new experiences.
The picture books with colourful Deborah Niland illustrated hippos appeal both to young children and to parents required to reread. They are story gifts at times such as starting school, going to hospital, going on holidays, having a new baby in the family or just at times when you need a friend.
The read aloud stories have also crossed into audio for use in the car and elsewhere, been performed in theatres and classrooms and translated into Auslan and Braille.
Mini Goss' 'Hand Me Down Hippo' illustrations in the Hand Me Down Hippo chapter book appeal to newly independent readers who also like listening to the audio.
Many translations of the hippo stories exist in various languages, but the most important interpretation is by the reader, from the word and picture clues.
Fantasy crosses all languages.
