Harvey the Hippo

<p><b>Up in the sky... Is it a bird? A plane? No it's Harvey the hippo floating by!</b></p><p>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.</p><p><em>Harvey the Hippo</em> 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</p><p>As a pediatrician I see the effects of unhealthy food choices on children every day. <em>Harvey the Hippo</em> 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</p><p>Our daughters loved the rhyming words illustrations and lessons learned about eating well in <em>Harvey the Hippo</em>. 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 <em>Today Is A Good Day </em></p>
