Join Duck and Hippo on another fun adventure!

My Review

Duck and Hippo Lost and Found is such a cute book. It is about being with friends for happy times and helping friends in scary times. I can’t believe summer is almost at an end, but it is! And in Duck and Hippo’s story, it’s the end of summer too. They’re celebrating with fun picnic! The animal friends bring food, but since Hippo forgot to bring some, he goes to find berries. His friends are very concerned when he doesn’t return. They think he needs help, so they don’t hesitate to go find him. Hippo’s journey for berries takes him all over the forest, but when the moon goes behind a cloud, he’s very scared! It is a good thing his friends are looking for him!

This is a sweet story that your little ones will love. The illustrations bring this simple story to life, and your child will have fun guess where Hippo is searching.
