Book Description
Hippos are unusual in being genuinely amphibious. This has a fundamental effect on their physiology and way of life. Following a general introduction, there is a detailed description of hippo anatomy and physiology, including facts about their skin structure and physiology. Subsequent chapters are devoted to their social biology and ecology, including descriptions of their breeding and feeding ecology. Several extraordinary instances of carnivory, including an instance of cannibalism, are described. This book closes with three chapters devoted to the results of the author's survey on the distribution and abundance of the common hippo throughout Africa.

Book Description
Hippos sad, Hippos blue, Having nothing Else to do. No books to read, No games to play, Hippos sad, A real gray day. Meet the hipposa lovable, zany crew ready to escort children and parents through the all-too-often boring concepts of counting, colours, and moods. But not this time! These hippos wear purple flip-flops and blue dungarees; they pull hair when they are angry (and end up in the time-out chair!) and sulk when they are sad; they jump out of planes with parachutes, and slide down snow-covered hills on sleds. And they even play in one awesome marching band! Written by beloved childrens author Jane Yolen specifically for the youngest reader, and brought to life with Vlasta van Kampens rollicking, colourful art, this playful series features sturdy board-book construction (complete with rounded edges) that will stand the test of time. And thats a good thing, since these three gems are bound to become read it again classics!

Book Description
A Finalist for the 2017 Nebula Award for Best Novella Sarah Gailey's wildfire debut River of Teeth is a rollicking alternate history adventure that Charlie Jane Anders calls "preposterously fun." In the early 20th Century, the United States government concocted a plan to import hippopotamuses into the marshlands of Louisiana to be bred and slaughtered as an alternative meat source. This is true. Other true things about hippos: they are savage, they are fast, and their jaws can snap a man in two. This was a terrible plan. Contained within this volume is an 1890s America that might have been: a bayou overrun by feral hippos and mercenary hippo wranglers from around the globe. It is the story of Winslow Houndstooth and his crew. It is the story of their fortunes. It is the story of his revenge. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
