Hippos Go Berserk! 1000-Piece Puzzle

Don’t go berserk putting together this 1,000-piece puzzle full of hippos from the inimitable Sandra Boynton!

These famous hippos, stars of the wild Hippos Go Berserk book, have been partying nonstop since 1977. Surprisingly, it hasn’t aged them a bit—they are as enthusiastic and unruly as ever. And now it gets even berserker: hippos have overflowed the book, invited more hippos, and now star in their very own puzzle. The way they explain it is this: It’s their job to go berserk. It’s your job to try to restore order. Good luck with that.

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children’s author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over seventy-five children’s books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 85 million of her books have been sold, “mostly to friends and family,” she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children’s music. Three of her six albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold) and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has been certified Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning “One Shoe Blues” starring B.B. King, “Alligator Stroll” starring Josh Turner, and “Tyrannosaurus Funk” (animated) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
