Trying to reach my book goal for the year lol. Good overview of hippos :))
Jane Goodall was such an inspiration in life and these books would be a perfect way to introduce kids to the amazing animal world

Very interesting book on hippos. I actually learned some things that I didn't know before and the pictures were very beautiful.
