Summary

A hippopotamus learns to be happy with the way she looks in spite of the fact that the elephant tells her that she lacks ears, the leopard that she needs spots, etc.

From the publisher

Bernard Waber, who has written eight delightful books about Lyle the Crocodile, a little boy named Ira, and a firefly named Torchy, is the author of more than seventeen picture books for children. Widely praised by reviewers for his ability to describe common family problems, he is best loved by children for his freeflowing humor and gentle characters.

First line

Once upon a time in the jungle . . . a rhinoceros came upon a hippopotamus splashing about in the mud.

Media reviews

"The moral is easy to share -- that it's best to be yourself even if you are 'a big, fat, wonderful hippopotamus.'" Kirkus Reviews
