Hippo Says ""Excuse Me (Hello Genius)

My son is uslpsest with these books!!!

Another good book in this series. My toddler loves them. They're simple; they're easy to read; and they teach good concepts! This one didn't stand out quite as much as some others (hence only 4 stars), but it's still a great little book and we would buy it again!

I love the Hello Genius series.Both of my children have read the books in the series over and over. They explain a simple concept in a very clear way.Hippo Says Excuse Me is not my favorite- Hippo is large and as he is walking down the street, getting on public transport, getting in an elevator- he says "excuse me" to the other animals.My kids were about 2 years old when they started engaging in these books and around 4 they stopped requesting the books at bedtime.Little Monkey Calms Down and Little Elephant Listens are two favorites (the kids memorized them).I believe this series teaches basic life skills that are important for children to know. I noticed my kids saying "excuse me" and "please" more often after reading particular books in the series.

Very useful for teaching "magic words" to young children

Hippos. They're huge. But the hippo in this book is unusually polite, and seems very aware of just HOW huge he is in comparison to others -- he's always saying "excuse me" to ride the bus, etc. My toddler is just getting into learning manners (18 months and starting to speak) but she's interested in what the hippo does and says. She especially likes the ending (SPOILER ALERT!) where the hippo is on a crowded elevator, and a little chick asks to ride it too...everyone says no, but hippo lets the little chick ride on his head (after saying "excuse me, there's always room for one more." to the other animals, reminding them of their manners in a very mature way, indeed). I liked that subtle put-'em-in-their-place move by the genial hippo...I'm probably reading waaaaaay too into it, but still, it was amusing.

This is a very cute little book! My two-year-old grandson loves it when I read this story and create a special voice for the hippo 🙂

My son LOVES this book and some of the other Hello Genios manners books. He can easily follow along the story and know that he is starting to talk, he is trying to say "excuse me" when the story prompts. There are various animals through out the story and he also likes to list the animals as we turn the page.

It was a gift and the child loves to read.

Beautifully illustrated and one of the best quality board books I have seen- with rich color and shiny pages. Sadly the story doesnt really lend much to teaching children manners. It just shows 2 hippos in different situations- literally shoving other animals aside and saying excuse me. I would have expected more real life situations to show children in which realistic scenerios to use the words excuse me.

Cute

Great book,good condition , came on time

2歳半で購入。3歳過ぎてもまだ読んでます。このシリーズは他にも持ってますが、お気に入りがこのヒッポです。繰り返しexcuse meの言葉が出てくるので、こどもも覚えて一緒に読んでます。

About 2 hippos commuting in the city. My 2 years old loves this series. She has the "penguin says please" and "bear says thank you". Great for learning the magic words.
