5 Hungry Hippos
Kathryn Roach
5 hungry hippos eating grass by the shore.
One went swimming in the river and that left 4.
4 hot hippos under a shady tree,
another went swimming and that left 3.
3 grazing hippos, found some grass to chew
another went swimming and that left 2.
2 hot, cranky hippos want to get out of the sun
one went swimming and that left 1.
1 lonely hippo needs the others for some fun!
He went swimming and now there are none...
But wait!...
Look in the river, what do we see?
5 cool hippos now happy as can be!!
The book, All God's Critters by Bill Staines features illustrations of the funniest hippo ever! Hippos can be a lot of Fun with Friends at Storytime!

These are the cutest hippos I have ever seen EVER. (I capitalize to impart TRUTH). And I love the little heads in the water, too. I don't usually do "5 little" rhymes where every thing does something different (too annoying to memorize!), but this is one you've convinced me to try.
