Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. The book sounds wonderful and Fiona sounds like a strong and determined Hippo.
You’re welcome!!
We just had a baby hippo born at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and he’s too young to be on display, but the news showed a pic of him near his mama. My six year old grandson loves to go to the zoo, check out the animals and imitate the monkeys.
