Booklist Review

Gr. 1-3. Action, delicious farce, and surprise drive this chapter book in the I Am Reading series. William Hippo dreams of getting a bicycle for his birthday, but business is slow in his mom's pizza parlor--until William gets an idea that brings customers flocking. New readers will love the happy ending and the twists and turns, both literal and figurative, along the way, as well as the wild success, which shows how words can make a difference. The exuberant, brightly colored, line-and-watercolor illustrations are great fun. --Hazel Rochman Copyright 2005 Booklist
