Pictures and prose are both rich and resonant in this deceptively simple African story. Hot Hippo longs to live in the river rather than on dry land but what about the fishes? Can the god trust him? When Hot Hippo opens his mouth in a wide yawn he proves that the fishes are safe – even with him in the water.
