Up in the sky.
Is it a bird? A plane? No, it's Harvey the hippo floating by! As all hippos do, Harvey liked to eat a lot of food.
But, unlike other hippos, Harvey liked to eat all kinds of food, especially treats and he liked to eat a lot of them.
He ate so many treats that he floated up to the sky and around the world.
He got to see many interesting sights but after a week of fun travel and not eating a thing, he got so thin he floated right back into his zoo where his family and friends, and a mound of lettuce, were waiting for him.
Harvey the Hippo brings new delight to the body of read-aloud literature for young children.
The rhythm of the poem is sure to engage the ear of many a three to six-year-old, and the vibrantly tinted illustrations are pure confection to the eye.
Thank you, Harvey, for nourishing the inner life of the young child! --Toni Seidl, child psychotherapist As a pediatrician, I see the effects of unhealthy food choices on children every day.
Harvey the Hippo is a fun, beautifully illustrated story that opens the door for families to discuss with young children how food choices affect their bodies.
--Jamie Pinto, pediatrician Our daughters loved the rhyming words, illustrations, and lessons learned about eating well in Harvey the Hippo .
It was fun to join Harvey on his trip around the world.
We were able to discuss geography, different cultures, and foods.
This book will serve as a touchstone for our family to remind all of us to eat well and only enjoy treats in moderation.
--Martha and Paul Sharkey, Founders, Today Is A Good Day.
