This was a super cute book! The graphics were great, the story was sweet but simple. Perfect for little curious kids and the parents who might not be so keen to their toys or pets until they see how much their kid loves them.

This is such a fun and vibrant story. I love the full color illustrations and the absolute excitement on Sophias face when she realizes there is a Hippopotamus at her house. This is a heartwarming story and it was a delight to read.
