The First Hippo on the Moon review
The First Hippo on the Moon by David Walliam's and illustrated by Tony Ross, an explosively jolly space adventure for children of 3 and up.
The story follows
Hercules Waldorf-Franklin III, an extremely wealthy hippo who pays for a space
centre to be built to launch him into space, and then there is Shelia, who
lives in the jungle, and she enrols her jungle friends to build her a space rocket from
trunks, vines and of course, dung.
Both hippos want to be known as the first hippo on the moon, and both land on the moon
at the same time, however Hercules Waldorf-Franklin III demands to be the first
hippo on the moon – but will Sheila the hippo let him get away with his
demands...
Two big hippos.
One ENORMOUS dream.
Who can make it to the moon first?
3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .
