Jenkins, S., Page, R. (2010). How to Clean a Hippopotamus: A Look at Unusual Animal Partnerships. New York: Houghton Mifflin Books for Children.
This delightful book is a colorful depiction of an ordinarily dry subject. Teaching children about symbiosis between unlikely animals, the comic strip design makes information much easier to absorb and the illustrations are smooth and easy to enjoy. Readers of all ages are sure to enjoy the informational content of this book in it’s concise and perfunctory manner. This is a great resource for children doing research on symbiosis or animal relationships and the back of the book includes an appendix full of facts and details about each animal introduced in the book. A great read and highly recommended! (Grade 3 and up).
This looks like a great book. A nonfiction that is interesting (might read it for myself!) Never would have heard of it, if it weren't for you blog
