A book that will teach kiddos the meaning of the word "conspicuous." Veronica is a hippopotamus who lives among other hippopotamuses in obscurity. She longs for attention, so she travels to a city fully of people, where she'll stand out. Unfortunately, she also gets in some trouble with the law, so a kind old lady bails her out and sends her back to the other hippopotamuses. But don't be sad for Veronica, her city trip lends her the glamor she desired in the first place.

This book is would be very easy for kids to relate to. There are many kids that feel like they blend into a the background-especially in a classroom. This book had a lot of big words in it, so it would be most appropriate for the upper grades. The lesson here would be that everyone is special in their own way-they just have to find an appropriate way to express themselves.

the best part about this book is that there are TWO STORIES IN ONE - flip it over and there's a story about three little horses that is ridiculously fantastic.

Wow, this goes far back. We had a Volkswagen that we named Veronica... whether because of the hippopotamus or not I can't remember. But I loved them both.
