Sammy the Hippo by Lucy Daniel-Raby
Sticky, mucky mud! Sammy the Hippo just loves to bathe in it, and rub it between his toes. But his Mum isn't so keen -- until she discovers that mud is good for her too! Sammy the Hippo is one of eight new titles in the hugely successful series of small format storybooks for preschool children based on the popular TV animation series Animal Stories. Each title -- based on a single TV episode -- follows the amusing antics of an animal character who is struggling to overcome a particular burden in life, such as spots on the leopard, a hump on the camel, fussy eating habits of the cat and noisy neighbours of the owl. The stories are told in delightful rhyming verse, accompanied by bold colourful illustrations derived from the animation. Funny and appealing, the complete series of sixteen titles will enthral fans of the TV programme and newcomers alike, and makes a charming set for young children to collect.
Animal Stories is produced by Collingwood O'Hare Entertainment Ltd, one of the world's leading TV animation houses. Established in 1988 by Tony Collingwood (writer/director) and Chris O'Hare (producer), the company has earned a prestigious international reputation as a producer of award-winning, high quality animated series and specials, including BAFTA nominated Dennis and Gnasher, Oscar's Orchestra and Dr. Seuss's Emmy nominated Daisy-Head Mayzie. The latter is also published in paperback by HarperCollins.
