“Aimed at 7, 8 & 9-year-olds, El Señor H is great fun, with some old-fashioned public service type information also cleverly, undidactically injected along the way. The illustrations are colourful, expressive, many of them full bleed on the page”. (Tom Bunstead)

A hippopotamus is tired of living in captivity in the zoo and  decides to return to his native Africa. With a little help from some friends he manages to get out of the park, but the most surprising thing is that no one - neither the zoo staff, nor the the pedestrians who cross his path, nor the diners and waiters in a pizzeria - seems surprised to see him roaming free.
