Sharko and Hippo book cover
Elliott Kalan, Andrea Tsurumi

With tongue-twisty wordplay and escalating absurdity, this is a fall-down-funny farce that will surprise and delight readers—from television comedy writer Elliott Kalan and acclaimed illustrator Andrea Tsurumi. When Sharko calls for a boat, Hippo pulls out a goat. He wants a pole, but Hippo gives him a pail. And instead of bait, a beet and a boot! Hippo’s coat pockets seem to have everything except what Sharko asks for! Will their fishing trip ever get off the ground?
