Henry the hippo turns up at the zoo after his mother dies. But the zoo already has a hippo and horrible Mr Pinch wants to send Henry away! Zoe can't bear to see the little hippo homeless, so she comes up with a hiptastic plan!
This is the first book in this series that I have read to my son. I picked a few up at the library and we both really enjoyed the lovely story and are going to try and meet them in as much order as possible now. We loved that Meep spoke and we are looking forward to reading about more of the rescue animals.
Read with my 6 year old, he loves it. The zoo was able to expand their hippo exhibit (which I would think needs some reinforcing??) in just an afternoon, none of the keepers had anything else to do???
