The Hippopandamouse
Jools Bentley
Princess Flo has pocket money to spend, so she’s off to Fluffley’s Fine Toys, the best toy shop in town. There are cuddly teddies, cute kittens and perky penguins – all perfect for a royal princess! But to everyone’s dismay, Princess Flo spots a strange looking toy. It’s part hippo, part panda and part mouse …and a total and utter mistake! But luckily for all, Princess Flo sees something unique and special – the perfect toy. All he needs now is a name! An incredibly funny debut from the winner of the Macmillan Prize for Illustration 2013. A brilliant, big-hearted story with an important message; our imperfections make us perfect.

The manager is quite funny because she tells everyone off but then she makes a mistake.

I like it because it was really sweet and it tells you that you don't have to be perfect to be great.

I liked it but it’s wasn’t my favourite book because I prefer books without princesses.

It was a funny story. I liked the little girl. Her name was Princess Flo. I think it is good for 5 year olds.

It was exciting and fun because the Hippopandamouse was not a post to be look like that.

My favourite part was when the hippopandamouse was made and when he was sucked up the tube and nearly unstitched.

My favourite character is the Hippopandamouse because he looks like a panda, a hippo and a mouse! It looks so funny, and I love him. I also love the lion on the front cover. I recommend this book very highly!!
