It had lots of imagination and I liked how the hippo shrunk. My favourite character was the hippo and I would recommend the story as it was funny.

A very funny story about a boy who finds a magic hippo that can shrink when you say a word that means the same as tiny, and will grow back to normal size when someone says hippopotamus!
