Meet Herma Hippo
Thoughts: The pages are worn, the cover torn and taped, but this little book was a favorite of my children and now my grandchildren. When we have sleepovers it is the book of choice for their bedtime story.

Things: I remember sewing a hippo for my friend when I was in high school. An autograph hippo, for friends and family to sign. Does anyone remember those? I still like making little stuffed animals even at my age. Herma Hippo was a must to make to go along with this book.

She will become our story time mascot.


Herma likes to read the story too, she thinks it is about her.




Patiently she waits for her little friends to come and sleep over again, anxious to read "A hippopotamus ate the Teacher"

  3. Herma is a very cute Hippo. I'm sure Gracie will love her. I had an autograph hound. It was light blue and looked like a wiener dog. I wonder whatever happened to it? Mimi
