Bookroo's summary
Hilda the hippo adores dancing, but her joyful stomps and crashes disturb the peace. As her animal friends plead for silence, Hilda faces a dilemma: can she find a hobby as thrilling as dancing, or will her passion prevail despite the noise?
From the publisher
Swisha-swisha Clap! Clap! Jump, Jump, Jump! “Hilda must be dancing!” Hilda Hippo loves to dance! But there’s just one problem. When Hilda dances, it sounds like this: Ka-bump! Ka-bump! Crash! Crash! Crash! Thumpity-bump! Thumpity-bump! Boom! Bang! Bash! The other animals beg her to find a quieter hobby. Knitting? Singing? For Hilda, nothing else will do. What could possible be as fun as dancing?
