Happy Hippo by the Shimmering Pond
This friendly hippopotamus loves splashing by the pond on a bright, breezy day. Birds soar overhead, and fluffy clouds fill the sky as the hippo admires its peaceful home surrounded by tall grass and leafy trees. Imagine the bright colors you can bring to this cheerful scene. What shades will you use for the water, sky, and our happy hippo friend?
FUN FACT
Hippos have short, stumpy legs, but they can run surprisingly fast on land for short distances, up to 18-20 miles per hour (30 km/h)!
