Publisher's Summary

A tale from the best-selling African Fable Series, a young Hippo greedily guzzles all the food she can find on the land, leaving the other African animals very hungry. Getting fatter and fatter, and uncomfortable in the heat, Hippo finds a new source of food in the water. But the Crocodile and the Eagle are not at all happy with her eating their fish.

Learn what happens next in this charming traditional African fable that has been wonderfully retold for children from the ages of 2 to 7 years old.
