The Turtle and the Hippopotamus

This is a great "read with me" story for young children. The Turtle and the Hippopotamus is about the problem a turtle has crossing the river. The creators of the book, Kate Banks and Tomek Bogacki, tell this story in a rebus format. That means, the story has pictures in place of some of the words which is great to get pre-schoolers and early readers to join in the reading process.
