But Not The Hippopotamus!

We go to the library alot... so much that I've had to limit the amount of books Natalie brings home! Most times, she will bring nearly 20 books home for us to read. The goal is always to keep the books in a special basket so we can keep up with them, but somehow, they always seem to find their way under the bed or in the toy box! So, Natalie now has a 5 book limit. Even if that means we take multiple trips to the library each week. We can keep up with 5 books alot easier. We usually read the books enough that Natalie remembers most of the words and can "read" it by herself... here she is with a new book we only read once... giggling and trying to remember the words, she finally says, "Well this is a weird book!"

One of our latest books from the library!

A hog and a frog cavort in the bog, But not the hippopotamus.
A cat and two rats are trying on hats, But not the hippopotamus.
A moose and a goose together have juice, But not the hippopotamus.
A bear and a hare have been to a fair, But not the hippopotamus.
Now the hog and the frog hurry out for a jog, with the cat and the rats in their new running hats... While the moose and the bear and the goose and the hare are doing their best
to keep up with the rest, But not the hippopotamus.
Then the animal pack comes scurrying back, saying "Hey! Come join the lot of us"
And she just doesn't know - Should she stay? Should she go?
But YES the hippopotamus! But not the armadillo.
