Hippopotamister

Hippopotamister by John Patrick Green, 84 pages

Hippo and Red Panda live right next door in the zoo, which is terribly run down, no one is running properly, and no one comes to visit.  When Red Panda leaves to live in the human world, Hippo thinks that his life sounds fantastic and decides to try it too.  Unfortunately, it seems that the jobs Red Panda chooses for them are not as successful as they might have hoped.  This short graphic novel would be excellent for younger beginning readers, especially those not quite ready for chapter books.  I'm not a big fan of graphic novels but I really liked this one and would definitely recommend it.
