books we've enjoyed reading lately

These have been fun to read:

The Hiccupotamus

There was a hippopotamus
who hiccupped quite-a-lotamus.
And every time he got'emus . . .
he'd fall upon his bottomus!

HIC! HIC! HIC!
(fun to read aloud)

17 Kings and 42 Elephants

Forty-two elephants oh, what a lot of 'ums, /Big feet beating in the wet wood shade, /Proud and ponderous hippopotomums /Danced to the music that the marchers made
(fun to read aloud)

Splat the Cat

Splat is a cat who is worried about his first day of school.
