I love reading this book to my nieces. They actually sing through the book since it's written by their favorite singer, Mary Rice Hopkins. The words are catchy and the illustrations are exceptional the way Wendy Francisco hid the hippos in the stars, sea, trees, mountains, and sky.

This is the lyrics of the song by the same title which comes on cassette with the book. The book is beautifully illustrated - One page, one animal for each letter. It is easy for a child to follow along while listening to the song on cassette. The cassette has 2 other songs. The songs are great, upbeat, easy to learn.
