In 2017 Sarah Gailey made her debut with River of Teeth and Taste of Marrow, two action-packed novellas that introduced readers to an alternate America in which hippos rule the colossal swamp that was once the Mississippi River. Now readers have the chance to own both novellas in American Hippo, a single, beautiful volume. Years ago, in an America that never was, the United States government introduced herds of hippos to the marshlands of Louisiana to be bred and slaughtered as an alternative meat source. This plan failed to take into account some key facts about hippos: they are savage, they are fast, and their jaws can snap a man in two. By the 1890s, the vast bayou that was once America's greatest waterway belongs to feral hippos, and Winslow Houndstooth has been contracted to take it back. To do so, he will gather a crew of the damnedest cons, outlaws, and assassins to ever ride a hippo. American Hippo is the story of their fortunes, their failures, and his revenge.

This entry in the "You Can't" book series explores the science, geography, and physiology that determines how, where, and in what various creatures live. It begins with animals whose body creates their home (shell-dwellers, spiders), then features those who use nests, burrows/dens/holes. Next come homes that humans build and live in.Humorous verse is paired with kid-centered explanations and explorations of building basics, different types of homes (igloos, apartments, cabins, suburban-style, etc.), and homes of the future. Each section is topped off with a page of simple activities and kickstarting questions that expand the child's understanding of that particular section's, and the overall, subject matter. The "You Can't" books are everyday-and body-centered science books that present kid-centered information and activities with humor, verse, cartoon-style art, and a sense of excitement and fun.
