A clever exercise in promoting visual literacy.–Carol L. Newman uses watercolor and gouache, along with pencil, ink, marker, and pastel, to create colorful, graphic-style illustrations. The two tick birds on his back add some emotional interest to the tale as they show empathy for his predicament. Rhino is flabbergasted at the error and tries a variety of means to correct the offending moniker–Hippo. There is little text, and most of the story is delivered through the art. Readers will re
Debra Newman said A children's book that makes kids really sit up and take notice. Newman's second book is a gem! As with his first, Reginald, he illustrates with an incomparable talent. Hippo, however, is a very special addition to any child's collection. Readers actually have to look closely at the characters' facial expressions and body language in order to tell the story. What a refreshing idea! Kids are not spoon fed ideas or a story with this book; they must create the story themselves. What is N. M.

No, Rhino! by Jeff Newman is a witty tale of the frustration undergone by Rhino when a zookeeper puts up the wrong sign.
