Hot Hippo (African Animal Tales) Book

This is the story of how Hippo came to live in the river instead of on dry land. Hippo is too hot in the sun and longs to live in the river with the fish. First, he has to ask Ngai's permission and prove to him that he will not eat the fishes in the river. And so we learn, not only how the Hippo came to live in the river, but also why he so often opens his mouth wide to the sky, stirs up the water with his tail and comes out at night to eat grass. Mwenye Hadithi and Adrienne Kenneway have collaborated on a number of popular folk tales (Crafty Chameleon, The Greedy Zebra, Lazy Lion)and each lavishly illustrated tale brings the taste and feel of the jungle to the reader. (Ages 4 to 8) A Big Book edition is also available.Read More
