Summary
Fiona digs, builds, and pretends in her favorite spot–the sandbox–in this second of four irresistible full-length miniature picture books, where the littlest readers are introduced to new friends and the charming world of the Hippo Park playground. This second book in the Hippo Park Friends series–introduces Fiona the Hippo in her beloved sandbox. Fiona is a builder and a digger, and has a big imagination. She’s digging for dinosaurs when she hits an imaginary bone and poof–she and her brother Herbert and face to face with a dino. So naturally, they bake cakes and pies and enjoy! The Hippo Park Pals mini picture books are all set in the playground, where the animals play, imagine, and have lots of fun and feelings–just like preschoolers do.
