Hippo's family love to swim - but not him. He's afraid of the water. What else can he do for fun? He tries skipping rope, but he's no good at jumping. He's too heavy for the seesaw. He can't even climb trees. Eventually he decides to face his fears, and plunges into the lagoon... where we discovers that hippos can swim after all!

 

Hilarious, quirky illustrations bring to life this delightful story about taking the plunge.
