Hello, Hippo! Goodbye, Bird!

---

Hello, Hippo! Goodbye, Bird! is a humorous picture book written by Kristyn Crow, illustrated by Poly Bernatene, and published by Alfred A. Knopf. The story follows a grumpy, solitude-loving hippopotamus who is continually annoyed by a persistent, chatty bird landing on his head and attempting to befriend him. Despite Hippo's constant efforts to shoo the bird away, a sudden rainstorm forces them to shelter together, ultimately leading to an unlikely and sweet friendship. Through expressive artwork, repetitive dialogue, and playful sound effects, the book explores social boundaries, patience, and making new friends. For kindergarten (TK) students, this storybook serves as a valuable social-emotional learning tool that helps develop interpersonal skills, emotional regulation, and early vocabulary skills.
