Little Hippopotamuses

Young hippos take center stage in this picture book, which follows a calf from birth through its first years of life. The pages show the calf splashing in rivers, wallowing in mud, and clinging to its mother's back as it learns essential skills. As the animal grows, readers see how it develops physically, from tiny newborn to a powerful adult, while also discovering the social habits of hippo herds. Simple text and clear photos give early readers an accessible look at how hippos live, eat, and interact with each other.
