Chubbo's Pool

A funny story about a hippo based on observation of animals in the wild with vivid watercolor paintings of the wildlife of Botswana.

"This story is maximized by Lewin's brilliant, dramatic, softly realistic watercolor paintings of the wildlife in Botswana...The text is simple but rhythmic and rich with expressive adjectives, excellent for reading aloud. the book demonstrates the same high standards for presenting an unusual topic as Lewin's Booby Hatch."
