About this title

From the Author:

Like most parents I spend too much cooking and cleaning and doing the washing and making sure everything is nice for my children and then I realise my children don't care that much about a perfect environment but they really do care about their mum and dads reading stories and spending doing things with them. I am that hippo! And if a big fat hippo can change their ways so can anyone!
