A brilliant first picture book to encourage kindness and empathy.

Hank the Hippo LOVES to help, but all the other hippos think he’s a fool. Especially Horace: ‘Hippos aren’t helpful! It’s not what we do. We spend our time sloshing in pools!’ But when a great flood comes, Hank is swept away as he tries to help the other animals. What will Horace do then?

This heart-warming story, told in effortless verse, is bursting with warm and witty illustrations and irresistible hippos!
