The First Hippo On The Moon

I read the children’s book called, ‘The First Hippo on the Moon,’ last week.

This children’s book was written by David Walliams and illustrated by Tony Ross.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book about two hippos that both want to be the first hippo on the moon.

A rich hippo named Hercules Waldorf Franklin the third is able to pay for a rocket to be built, but unfortunately the not so rich hippo named Sheila has no money and so her friends help her make one.

This is a wonderful story for children, that encourages friendship, teamwork and a never give up attitude to difficult situations.

It’s hilarious story with a twist and a secret that children will like.

To find out if any hippo actually reached the moon, then either read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think or what you’d do if you went to the moon?
