in stilettos for going to town.

But what kind of shoes does a hippopotamus choose?

Readers will love calling out the cats in smart ballet flats, the bears wearing boat shoes, donkeys in mules embellished with jewels, and many, many more. With stunning illustrations by Sebastien Braun, What Kind of Shoes Does a Hippopotamus Wear? will be a book destined to be picked up and read over and over again.
