Zippo the Super Hippo: Volume 1
Liburu elektroniko honi buruz
"Everyone has a super power," says his best friend Roxi. "You just have to work out what yours is."
Being good at swimming and splashing in mud aren't really superpowers though. Perhaps Zippo can fly like Roxi. But who's ever heard of a flying hippopotamus? Especially one with such a big bottom. Maybe there's a power in that . . .
From award-winning author Kes Gray and exciting new illustrating talent Nikki Dyson. This fantastically funny superhero will be flying into children's imaginations and inspiring them to celebrate all that is super about themselves.
