The Hippopotamus Song: A Muddy Love Story

This offbeat invitation might not appeal to most, but to a fair hippopotama nothing could be harder to resist - especially when it issues from the mouth of a charming hippoputamus. This book tells about the muddy escapades that result once these lovesick hippos succumb to each other's charms.

hippo love

love this book and story - Our one year old is even trying to sing the song! Beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend this book

Incredibly funny, my kids love to sing it .

My kids loved reading & singing along with me. The whole story is also a song, the chorus going, 'Mud, mud, glorious mud. Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood, so follow me follow, down to the hollow, & there we will wallow in glorious mud.' Very funny!
