About The Book
Exuberant hippopotamus guests show up in ever-increasing numbers, until an all-night party is inevitable. Hippos Go Berserk! is the first book ever published by children’s book master Sandra Boynton, and is perfect for travel time, bedtime, or PARTY TIME!
One hippo, all alone,
calls two hippos on the phone.
Three hippos at the door
bring along another four.

She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
