Pawsitive FEEDBACK!

It's good to see a pet site that shows all kinds of animals, not only cats and dogs. Pasture pets... too funny! And who says a frog or spider can't be a pet?  Steve - Dentist - Baton Rouge

Product Description:


Christmas is coming, and one little girl wants nothing more than a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy. But will Santa Claus and her parents make her Christmas wish come true? As shown in his best-selling titles The Night Before Christmas and Here Comes Santa Claus, no one can portray the holidays better than Bruce Whatley; and he doesit again with I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas.



The song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" was written in 1950 by John Rox and became a nationwide hit in 1953 when ten-year-old Oklahoma native Gayla Peevey sang the song as a way to raise money for the Oklahoma City Zoo's first hippopotamus. In December of that year the city received Matilda the hippo for Christmas.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely adorable
This is one of the most adorable children's book I have seen. Although I bought this book for an obsessed 28 year old! It is also if quality to be displayed all year long.. I am happy I purchased..



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I love it!!!
I have always loved this song and now I am very pleased to own the book! It is a must have!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Cute
I was really happy when i received this book. The pictures are adorable. My daughter sang this song at her school holiday program, so I even purchased a copy for her teacher. The words are not exactly the same as the recording, but close enough. If you love the song, you will enjoy the book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.
