From the publisher

A Valentine’s Day story about finding your own special sweetheart. Tomorrow is February 14th and Hippo is looking for a valentine, but all of the animals she asks-Leopard, Dolphin, Butterfly, Elephant and more-give reasons as to why they aren’t good matches for her. Will Hippo have to celebrate Valentine’s Day alone? Jerry Pallotta and David Biedrzycki team up again in this humorous story that’s as giggle-inducing as their previous holiday offerings!
