Summary
Breaking out of the herd and moving away to make a name for herself, Veronica the hippopotamus finds herself in the hustle-and-bustle of a big city where, after eating flowers, blocking sidewalks, and suddenly getting arrested for knocking over a cart, decides that being home with her family and friends is exactly where she belongs after all!
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Veronica, a hippopotamus who wants to stand out from the herd and be famous, travels to the big city where she indeed does stand out. Causing traffic jams, blocking sidewalks, and devouring a pushcart vendor’s vegetables in one big gulp, Veronia is arrested and jailed. How she discovers that there is no place like home is told with warm humor and sublimely mirthful illustrations that are great fun to share with a young child.
