I am thrilled to be a part of the lovely group exhibition Everyone Can Fly at the Susquehanna Art Museum in Harrisburg, PA. The show opened on March 20th, and will be up through the end of May. If you find yourself in the Harrisburg area I hope you'll drop by the beautiful museum and enjoy a visit.

If there’s any kid who’d like to learn how to clean a hippopotamus, it’s probably Sam.
Because Sam is very interested in animals. And, he has a lot of them at his house. Sam has three dogs — two German Shepard/husky mixes and one rat terrier. He also has three cats, seven fish and two frogs. And, someday, he hopes to add a crab to that mix.
So he was happy to review How to Clean a Hippopotamus (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010) a picture book about animal partnerships by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page.
So if Sam had to clean a hippo, he now knows he’d need to enlist the help of an African helmeted turtle to nibble away the algae and water plants that stick to the hippo’s hide. He also knows how coyotes and badgers work together to hunt prairie dogs and how remoras and sharks form a mutually beneficial relationship where the remora gets a free ride through the ocean and leftovers from the shark’s meals while the shark gets a free facial.
What else did Sam learn? Let’s ask him.
Today’s reviewer: Sam
Age: 8
I like: Reading, playing with my DS and collecting Pokemon cards.
This book was about: Animal relationships.
The best part was when: When the boxer crab picked up the sea anemone and shook it like it was a pom-pom.
I smiled when: I saw the ostrich’s eyes.
I was surprised when: I saw the picture of the decorator crab that covered itself in junk so it blended into the sea floor.
This book taught me: How coyotes and badgers work together to find prairie dogs to eat.
My favorite line or phrase in this book is: “As it basks, a Sally Lightfoot crab takes notice. Soon this agile land crab is scrambling over the iguana’s body. It eats ticks and feeds on bits of the lizard’s dead skin.”
Other kids reading this book should watch for: How the honey badger doesn’t get stung by the bees.
You should read this book because: You can see a lot of different crabs.
Thanks, Sam!
