Hungry Hippos

hey jen, I think this is a good children's tale. The one thing i might wonder about -- and you're more of an expert than me -- is whether you want to use any of the numbers out of context. if you're trying to teach a child numbers, you want the numbers to be used as numbers. So, then the question is this really teaching puns? And if so, is the audience going to want a bit more from this? I have no answers on this. I am merely raising the point. If you want to market this to that market, then you probably want the answers ready if an editor asks those questions.
