African Stories: Once Upon a Hippo

Inspired by traditional animal stories from Africa, find out WHY the hippo has no fur! Can you believe that long, long ago, hippos used to be hairy all-over? That was until, one day, a very hot-and-bothered hippo was desperate to cool down . . . and became the hippo in the river we know today. A colourful animal adventure perfect for curious little ones. Written by the award-winning Ken Wilson-Max and illustrated by Zinelda McDonald. Also available in the Storytime Africa series: Once Upon an Elephant, Once Upon a Lion, Once Upon a Giraffe and Once Upon a Zebra.
