This lovely new title looks at the lives of hippos - from their birth to growing up, how they feed, grow, hunt, rest, and clean. Glorious, large colour photographs show the hippo at every stage of its life. Simple, engaging text allows young readers to understand a hippo's life. There is also information about the threats that hippos face in the wild and how we can help them to survive in the future.
