I've got a mew school bag.

I put my red drink bottle and my red lunch box in my school bag.

My Hippopotamus is packing his school bag too.


The little girl from There's a Hippopotamus on Out Roof Eating Cake is starting her first day of school!

She takes her hippopotamus with her and together they face those first-day-at-school experiences – meeting your teacher, eating lunch in the playground and making new friends.

This is a wonderful read-aloud book full of fun and reassurance for young people starting school.
