Happy Hippo in the Splashy Pond

This friendly hippo pops up from the middle of a calm pond, cheeks puffed and mouth curled into a big, bouncy grin. His round snout and wide little ears peek out just above the rippling water, where swishy reeds stand tall on one side and a chubby tree grows on the other. Fluffy clouds drift across the sky, and low, curvy hills rise behind him like gentle pillows.

Around him, the pond shimmers with simple lines that show where he splashes. The quiet landscape feels peaceful, but look closely—this hippo’s big eyes gleam with a silly secret, as if he’s just played a game of peekaboo and can’t wait to do it again. The bold letters at the top spell out HIPPOPOTAMUS, making it easy for any kid to shout out his name!

Fun Fact!

A hippo's stomach can hold a lot of food, but it only digests about half of what it eats efficiently.
