People have even gone so far as to say that partying hippos \"go berserk.\" Nobody knows how these rumors got started. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut even if it's true (it is), it's not the whole story.

Accordingly, this helpful book follows two typical hippos as they calmly and mindfully go about their ordinary hippo day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"O, flare thy wild nostrils, \u003cbr\u003e And welcome the day!\u003cbr\u003e Onward!
