In this gorgeous sequel to the hugely popular Kiss Kiss! it is the end of the day and a restless Baby Hippo is having trouble falling asleep so off he walks and as he wanders he hears those words 'Hush, Hush' as other mother animals hush their babies to sleep. Soon baby hippo begins to yawn and he knows what to do ... he retraces his steps until he gets back to his mother (seeing sleeping animals along the way) and soon snuggles up to sleep.
Gentle soothing rhythmic text will make this a bedtime favourite.
