2nd in our Jack's Back! Book series, this is about a boy named Jack (my son) who thinks he has a hippopotamus in his brain and every time he gets a hug, his hippopotamus grows! He soon learns that it wasn't a hippoPOTAMUS, but his hippocampus. (The connections our family has with Washington University is very interesting and personal... happy to share with our winner. I dedicated this book to my late father, Wash U alma mater.)
It makes a great GIFT for: baby shower, new baby, child or educator preschool - 2nd grade, school, library, or even your favorite doctor's or dentist's office waiting room! I'M HAPPY TO PERSONALIZE IT TO YOUR FAVE LIL ONE, TEACHER, SCHOOL, LIBRARY, NEW PARENT, DOCTOR'S OFFICE, ... OR YOU! :-)
