Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children’s author, songwriter, producer, and director. (Ages 3 to 7) -Emilie Coulter About the Author: Boynton's familiar style can be seen in scads of other delightfully nonsensical titles, including Barnyard Dance! and Moo, Baa, La La La!. The sturdy board book will withstand lots of eager counting fingers, and maybe even a berserk hippo or two. Lively, cute new illustrations complement this edition, with big numbers (one through nine, and nine through one) boldly placed on the corner of each page.
The well-loved Sandra Boynton wrote this tribute to silliness in 1977, inspiring generations of the very young to learn to count. In clusters of nine, eight, seven, six, and so on, the hippos depart, finally leaving the one hippo "alone once more, the other forty-four."
Before the night is through, a houseful of hippos (and one beast) has joined the one hippo for a boisterous bash. Soon three more hippos are at the door, bringing along another four.
until the one calls two other hippos on the phone.
