And frankly, he's starting to find being a hippo kind of boring - standing in the water all day up to his eyeballs, eating grass - no fun at all! So he embarks on a journey to figure out just what kind of animal to be, and along the way, meets all kinds of creatures.
As he tries to do everything they do, this heartwarming story of a youngster searching for his identity and trying to be somebody he's not will strike a chord with all readers. Repetitive, silly text and bright illustrations make HIPPO-NOT-AMUS an infectiously fun read.  4aIndividuality 4aChildren's Literature 4aSelf-esteem 4aSelf-confidence  cBK  00104070a80.1b80.1d2024-02-09l0oH2 - PAYpA14532r2024-02-09 21:19:59w2024-02-09yBK  c123778d123778
