 My Review:This was so cute. The images were simple and adorable, and I really enjoyed what the hippo did and watching him try to figure out how to stay cool in the heat. Loved it. I think this would be perfect for any kid wanting a cute adventure with silly solutions and diverse characters. There are a few words in here that might need adult pronunciation, though, so maybe this would be best read aloud as say a bedtime story! Summary:Join Hippo on a whimsical journey as he tries to beat the heat in a charming tale filled with humor, vibrant characters, and unexpected twists.
Hippo starts his day lounging in the sun, only to find the temperature soaring to a sweltering 103 degrees. Determined to cool down, Hippo embarks on a series of delightful misadventures. From borrowing sandals from Mr. Hemingway to trying out sunglasses and sitting at an outdoor café, Hippo’s efforts seem futile as the thermometer stubbornly reads the same high temperature. In his quest for coolness, Hippo interacts with a host of amusing characters – a shivering snake, a perfectly comfortable ostrich, and a nonchalant crocodile. Despite his best efforts, nothing seems to work. Not even the arrival of a Viennese doctor and a French balloonist, who weigh Hippo in the most peculiar way, can help him escape the heat. This endearing story is perfect for children and families, teaching a valuable lesson about creativity, perseverance, and finding joy in the simplest of solutions. Filled with lively illustrations and a playful narrative, "Hippo" is a delightful addition to any bookshelf. Grab your copy today and dive into Hippo’s hilarious journey to beat the heat!

Summary:A gripping, full-cast science-fiction drama for fans of time travel, conspiracy theories, and unexplained phenomena.
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet. But is Earth safe? Could the Vanishing happen again? To get answers, two teams are launched back in time–one to New York City before the Vanishing; another to follow a bizarre trail of clues through history, from Area 51 to the lost Roanoke colony, and beyond. There are forces, though, that don’t want the Temporal mission to succeed. And a mysterious being whose own agenda might destroy them all.
Summary:What happens when the first day of school is the last day of the world?
For sixteen-year-old Virtue, navigating 11th grade is hard enough. Throw in the mass carnage of the Purple War, the brain-mangling Lemming Plague, and the overnight, post-apocalyptic breakdown of civilization, and suddenly, arguing with her parents, being picked on by bullies, and tyrannized by her teachers doesn’t seem quite so devastating. Now, trapped on the campus of her elite, co-ed boarding school, Virtue’s new priorities are saving her best friend (and potential boyfriend?), fending off Virulents, dodging Clique Baiters and Serial Daters, and rescuing Beynac—her Golden Retriever service dog. Oh, and surviving. It took sixteen years of torment and insecurity to make Virtue a wallflower. It took a single day of classes (and an academy full of brainwashed, dog-stealing, finger-eating killers) to turn her into the school’s most feared and deadly badass.
