APyper Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 My son keeps talking about a book he heard a couple of months ago. He said the name sounds like pottamatupus or pittamotapus. I could be way off but he insists it's something like that. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mskelly Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 What is the book about? Maybe that will help me think of some titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrulySusan Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Could it be The Hoppameleon? My kids always loved that book. eta the book description from Amazon: When the world is still quite young, there was a sleepy, slurpy swamp. And in it swam a very odd-looking creature...As he makes his way in the world, this very odd-looking creature, with a long sticky tongue, who can hunt like a chameleon and sing like a parrot, isn't quite sure who or what he is. Nor is anyone else. But he does know that he wants to find a friend who is just like himself. An enchanting tale from the winner of the Children's Book Award.

APyper Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 That's not it :banghead: it's driving me crazy! He just remembers its about a grandmother giving a granddaughter things :confused: He did say all the characters are African American.
