Two young girls build a snow-woman. The wind and a fierce ice storm give them a helping hand. The snow-woman melts, but leaves behind a patch of wild violets and a bunch of fond memories that are passed on to the children of the now grown-up little girls. This book is heavily illustrated, with 17 full-page paintings, plus decorative cameos, by the Author / Artist.

This is a wild and comical profusely illustrated tall tale of a young hippopotamus with a very special talent -- to make brightly colored "naturally hard-boiled" eggs. This gets him into trouble with the other hippopotamuses, and he is forced to leave home on a journey that eventually brings him to the "wild wetlands" of New Jersey, where he happily becomes the "Easter Hippopotamus." The book has more than fifty pages of illustrations, with matching texts in English and Spanish. It is intended both as a read-to book for children as young as 2 or 3, and for young readers 5 to 8, and can readily be used as a language learning tool for either English or Spanish.

This clever twist on the familiar Easter Bunny story is a beautifully illustrated, comical, and charming tall-tale of a young hippopotamus with a very special talent -- to make brightly colored "naturally hard-boiled eggs." This gets him into big trouble with the other hippopotamuses, and he is forced to leave his river home on a journey that brings him to America (New Jersey, to be specific), where he happily becomes the "Easter Hippopotamus." If you are not yet familiar with this modern classic, you should be. With some 56 beautifully illustrated pages, it is almost twice the length of most modern children's picture books, but not a word or a picture is wasted. The book is excellent both for young readers to age 7 or 8, and as a refreshing funny "read-to-me book" for younger children as young as 2 or 3.
