Big Bully Hippo - Softcover

Hippo bullies his way through the jungle! He pops baby monkey's balloon's; he drinks lion's drink; he splashes the ducks, he really is in a bullying mood. But when he goes to kick meerkats ball, he really should have listened! Hippo is taught a lesson about bullying that he won't forget in a hurry, and is touched by the other animals help despite his naughty ways. The story is told with the clever use of half pages that animate the story in a fun way. Large gatefold flap on pages 29/30.
