A delightful new adventure for the little hippos Something unusual has happened at the river’s edge where the hippos live – two new hippos have arrived! They like the beach, all the space, and the diving board. But it’s not easy being the new arrivals. All day the new little hippo watches the other hippo kids play in the water, but she’s not allowed to join in their games. Meanwhile, the new hippo mama struggles with building a hut, while the adult hippos watch dubiously. And then one day the new hippos disappear, and it’s up to the little hippos to find them. With her warm, winsome ink-and-watercolor pictures, Lena Landström has created an original and sweet story about accepting new neighbors.
