Sunny Smiles Hippo in the Morning

This little hippo stands tall, showing off his round belly and tiny, curled tail. He grins with wide cheeks, as if he just saw something silly. His black button eyes shine, and the faint blush on his cheeks makes him look as if he just finished a game of peek-a-boo. Two soft ears perch on top of his giant head, ready to listen for any giggles nearby.

His left hand waves hello, while stubby toes peak out from under his wide feet. Smooth lines outline his plump arms and legs, and there is plenty of open space to try bright colors. Everything about this hippo begs for a splash of fun—maybe some grassy greens or a pop of pink on his cheeks. He looks right out of a happy storybook page, waiting for a wild, colorful makeover.
