Want to find out if hippos can swim or ride bikes? You’ll find the answer to those questions and even more about hippos in this entertaining book including where they live, what they eat, and even what happens when they go to the bathroom! 
This book is a fun and perfect mix of interesting facts about both common and pygmy hippos, seamlessly combined with humorous quips and jokes by the hippopotamuses on each page. 

While still keeping the tone light and the humor infused throughout, the book touches on threats to hippos and how the reader can help.
