Ernie the Easter Hippopotamus - Bilingual English-Spanish Edition

More about the book

This is a wild and comical profusely illustrated tall tale of a young hippopotamus with a very special talent -- to make brightly colored "naturally hard-boiled" eggs. This gets him into trouble with the other hippopotamuses, and he is forced to leave home on a journey that eventually brings him to the "wild wetlands" of New Jersey, where he happily becomes the "Easter Hippopotamus." The book has more than fifty pages of illustrations, with matching texts in English and Spanish. It is intended both as a read-to book for children as young as 2 or 3, and for young readers 5 to 8, and can readily be used as a language learning tool for either English or Spanish.
