When I Woke Up I Was a Hippopotamus

Ross Collins(Illustrator), Tom MacRae

"When I woke up I was a hippopotamus.
Yawning in the morning, I raised up my sleepy head,
Then took one look out of the window
and got straight back into bed."

A small boy's fantasies about being different creatures get him into all sorts of mischief!

Reviews

"Joyously illustrated, this rhyming story is a delight."
Sally Morris - Daily Mail

"Ross Collins' striking illustrations combine a Winnie-the-Pooh cuddle factor
with a dark imagination reminiscent of Tenniel's drawings for Alice."
TES

"Tom MacRae is such a talented and sensitive writer. I love this book. I only wish he'd written it thirty years earlier then I could have loved it as a child."
Matthew Cain - Culture Editor, Channel 4 News

"A great story for toddlers and young school children . . . about the potential pitfalls of an over-active imagination."
The Bookbag

"Great fun."
