Join the fun of Toddler Time! Hippo Has a Hat is a brilliant rhyming story from Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, and Nick Sharratt. The perfect first book for toddlers who are learning to get dressed.
With a free audio reading via a QR code!
There's chaos in the clothes shop when the animals go on a glorious shopping spree. Zebra's zip is stuck and Toad's tracksuit is far too big, but Flamingo finds a stylish bag, and Caterpillar's shoes are really cool. Even the smallest toddler will enjoy the wonderfully silly animal antics in this book, so join in the fun – you've never seen a fashion show like it!
In a sturdy board book format, Hippo Has a Hat is perfect for younger readers and ideal for reading out loud together! Julia Donaldson's charming story and Nick Sharratt's mischievous and funny illustrations make this bright and playful book a sure winner.
A series of first books for relatable toddler experiences, look out for other Toddler Time stories: Animal Music, Chocolate Mousse For Greedy Goose, and Goat Goes to Nursery.
