Description

A gentle, engaging story about a young hippopotamus who has felt like an elephant as long as she can remember. She decides to ask the elephant herd if she can live with them, and be an elephant. She is accompanied by a chimp, a sandpiper and a giraffe, puzzled by her decision but who keep her company on her journey.
