I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

"Any child who has begged or pleaded for a pet for Christmas will love this book." *

Christmas is coming, and one little girl wants nothing more than a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy. But will Santa Claus and her parents make her Christmas wish come true?

As shown in his bestselling titles The Night Before Christmas and Here Comes Santa Claus, Bruce Whatley is a master when it comes to funny picture book stories about the holiday, and he does it again with I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.

Music and lyrics for the song included!
