A Hippo Called Henry

PRG Collins

Casa editrice: Austin Macauley Publishers

Sinossi

Henry was a young hippopotamus who was growing up in a big thunder of family, friends, and foes, and within their homeland by the water there was always some competition within the herds. When the annual Tree Trunk shove is nearly ready to roll, Henry gets his local hippos together to train them for the big day… to turn them into a team of hippos rather than just a gathering of individual hippos! A champion team rather than a team of champions! Some of the hippos didn't want to train, didn't want to be in a team, or didn't want to be in the shove, but Henry had other ideas. Did Henry show his friends and family just how important team spirit is, and was it enough then to win the 100th Tree Trunk shove?
