"With gorgeous mixed-media illustrations and accessible, engaging
language, this picture book will spur interest in the world of hippos."
-- School Library Journal (starred review)
The deadliest animal in Africa isn't the lion or the crocodile -- it's
the hippopotamus! Hippos have razor-sharp tusks, weigh as much as fifty
men, and can run twenty-five miles per hour. Follow these hefty hulks as
they glide underwater, play tug-of-war, swat balls of dung at one
another, and nuzzle their young in the mud. Just don't get too close --
they could chomp you in two!
