Milo Hippo’s Big Wide Yawn

Milo the hippo opens his mouth as wide as a tunnel, showing off his four strong teeth and an enormous tongue. He stands with sturdy legs and googly eyes, looking surprised at the funny yellow bird flapping in mid-air right near his nose. The bird seems to be chirping extra loud, wings shaking and eyes round as marbles, as if he and Milo just told a silly hippo joke.

Milo’s round belly wobbles while he yawns, and the bird looks so close you can almost hear him squawk. The lines are bold and simple, giving you plenty of space for bright colors and wiggly patterns. Everyone looks a little startled, but they seem ready to giggle together beside the riverbank.

Fun Fact!

A hippo needs to keep its skin wet or moist most of the time, or it can crack in the sun.
