Helga the Hippopotamouse Author:Elaine Fantle Shimberg A delightful three chapter book about Helga, a shy character who is part Hippo and part Mouse. She has no idea why this is, but tries to find others who will accept her for who she is, not what she looks like. The illustrations are classic Sandy Seeley Walling, colorful and whimsical. A great read for the 4 to 8 set.
