African Animal Tales: Hot Hippo
Mwenye Hadithi, Adrienne Kennaway
Hippo was hot and thought how wonderful it would be to live in the water. Hippo pleaded with the god of Everything and Everywhere to let him live in the rivers and streams.
Ngai agreed Hippo could live in the water but only if he promised not to eat the little fishes and to come out of the water at night and eat grass.
The story of how Hippo came to live in the river instead of on dry land.
Reviews
This book has taught me that hippos live in water. They also have to swim up to the top to breathe and they eat grass at night.

This book is about an hippo, there was a god incharge called ngai what told the hippo what to do and how to live but in the end the hippo lived where he wanted to and was happy.

It’s really silly that the hippo has to show he hasn’t eaten the fish
