Hippo Trouble

What would you do if the hippo you’d adopted doesn’t like the name you’ve given him? What if he escaped from the zoo and arrived at your house to complain?

Would you run?

Scream?

Ring the zoo?

When Snuffles appears unexpectedly in George’s back garden, George doesn’t do any of those things. Instead, he decides to take Snuffles back to the zoo himself – and that’s where the trouble starts. Because Snuffles is no ordinary hippo.

A delightfully funny story for children ages 5-8, ideal to be read aloud or as an early independent reader.
