Celebrating the hippopatomus

Jake loves Sandra Boyton books. She prominately features fat animals singing and dancing. One of her favorites is the hippo. I thought her inspiration was mere silliness until I spent some time in front of the hippopatomus exhibit at the St. Louis Zoo. Under water these creatures are so graceful and fluid. Guess that teaches me yet another lesson on making judgments based on first appearance.
