What Can a Hippo Be?
What can a hippo be? Fireman? Sailor? Courier? Painter?
Hippo
has tried many careers. Although he failed many times, he is always full of
confidence. The road to growth seems to become clearer after failing over and
over again. Hippo not only knows how to try but also knows how to relax. After
countless attempts, he gives himself a vacation and lies down comfortably.
Will
he think about his past failures or what he is really good at and likes to do?
Echoing with the pictures, the text is full of philosophy and humor. The
open ending is worth reading again and again.
Over 38,000 copies sold in China in only one year.
