Customer Reviews: A fantastic bookApril 22, 2008 A. Deighan(West Yorkshire) This was one of my daughters favourite books from about 2 and a half to four. At the age of 3 and a half she had it memorised (and it is a reasonable lenght). The illustrations are bold and bright and the problems of Henrietta believable (the other hippos laugh at her for being different). But everyones favourite part is when the snip snip bird gives her a new hairdo. We recently picked this up off the bookshelf again after a long absence for some reason, and now at 6 my daughter has rediscovered it and is trying to read it rather than memorise it. A fantastic book with lasting appeal.
