"A young elephant embarks on a whimsical quest to find various lost objects belonging to their animal neighbors, uncovering a mystery as snail, squirrel, and ladybugs reveal their missing items.

In the fourth book of the Hippo Park Pals, Herbert climbs to the top of the jungle gym for the first time. Of course, he has to look where he places his feet and balance each step of the way. Step! Pull! Step! Pull! Try not to wobble! He's got it! And when Teddy (his stuffed bear) falls, Herbert imagines being a helicopter and making a heroic save!

In the third Hippo Park Pals miniature book, Fiona is first to the swing set, but her swing is too high to reach! "Help me, please, Herbert," she asks her brother. With his help, Fiona gets comfy in her swing, gets a big push-and up she goes! "Kick and tuck," Herbert encourages! And she's off! Herbert joins, too, and the siblings soar up to the sky (and over a beautiful rainbow) in their imaginations!

"A book about measuring the immeasurables in life!"--

Whether Herbert imagines sliding down into a magical underwater world or being chased up a mountain by a bear--preschoolers will love Herbert's adventures playing on the slide, and thrill to this first visit to Hippo Park.
