Big Hippo Yawn in the Morning Sun
Meet Harper the hippopotamus, welcoming a brand new day with a giant yawn by the riverbank! As the sun peeks over the water, Harper stretches her jaw wide, showing off her huge teeth and friendly face. What colors will you give her smooth skin and the river’s shimmering light? Imagine the sounds of splashing water and birds calling as you bring this peaceful riverside moment to life!
FUN FACT
Hippos can even make some sounds that travel through the water, which other hippos can hear and feel.
