That's Not A Hippopotamus!

WRITTEN BY JULIETTE MACIVER

PUBLISHED BY GECKO PRESS 2016

WINNER of the new Zealand children's picture book of the year award 2017!

A hilarious slapstick tale of overconfident kids run amok. This book was ridiculously fun to illustrate and will be even more fun to read aloud with the little chaos-generators in your own life. It's a wild ride packed full of warthogs, skunks, snakes, and unexpected surprises. The illustrations are graphite on bristol illustration board, coloured in Photoshop with handpainted, scanned textures and patterns.

Davis’ colorful illustrations match the text’s energy and zaniness.... Buoyant fun for the very young.

Maclver and Davis are an exceptional combination. I’m sure this story will be read over and over and delight the reader and listener every time.
