Never Trust A Hippo

Never Trust a Hippo! Or at least, that's what you're told...They're big. They're heavy. They're loud. They have tiny legs, tiny ears, enormous teeth, and sleepy eyes. They look slow and harmless, and they spend much of their time floating around in the water. But what if everything you thought you knew about hippos was wrong?In Never Trust a Hippo, young readers are invited to take a humorous - and surprising - look at one of the world's most fascinating animals. With playful rhymes and plenty of unexpected facts, this entertaining picture book challenges the way we see the hippopotamus and reveals that there is much more to these enormous animals than meets the eye.Hippos may look slow, but they're surprisingly fast. Their seemingly tiny ears are remarkably sensitive. They can hear while underwater, move quietly through the water, and even sleep beneath the surface. They have enormous teeth, yet their diet consists primarily of grass. And when they're out in the hot African sun, they have their own remarkable way of protecting their skin.With each turn of the page, Never Trust a Hippo takes something that seems obvious and turns it upside down. The result is a funny, fact-filled adventure that combines learning with rhyme, humor, and a healthy dose of suspicion about these deceptively cuddly creatures.Written for young children and families to enjoy together, the book introduces fascinating animal facts in a way that is easy to understand and fun to read aloud. Its playful approach encourages children to ask questions, look beyond appearances, and discover that animals can be very different from what we might expect.But don't be fooled by those cute faces and sleepy eyes. Hippos are strong, fast, clever, and surprisingly unpredictable.So the next time you see a hippo, remember what you've learned.They may say they're one thing... but they're something else instead.SO NEVER TRUST A HIPPO!
