A Hippopotamus Grows Up

Young readers watch a baby hippo as it moves from the river to the land, learning to stay cool in water and mud. The calf spends its days grazing, playing with other hippos, and picking up the skills it will need as an adult. As it grows, the hippo faces the natural challenges of survival, eventually finding a mate and raising its own calf. This easy-to-read book presents the life cycle of a hippopotamus for early readers with clear, simple text.
