About this ebook
Hippopotamus had a spotamus . . . on her bottomus! "It's a blister!" said her sister. "It's measles!" said Weasel. "It's hippopox!" said Fox. But in the end the spotamus turns out to be something hilariously unexpected!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Super fun and silly - a hippo trying to figure out what the spot on his backside is and everyone has an opinion. The book is great, until the ending. Ugh - a little too gross for me. I'll still probably work it into a preschool "silly" or "hippo" themed story time as some point and we'll talk about the disgusting ending.[SPOILER ALERT].....The spot turns out to be a piece of gum a little boy has lost and he grabs it off the hippo's backside and pops it into his mouth. Gross!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5cute story, but i don't like all the nonsense words. it would be a great storytime story if it had less of the fake words. some of them are cute, like bottomus...but then there is a bunch that make no sense to me as an adult.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A bit gross and quite silly. Should be a popular read aloud.
