K-Gr 2—This video adaptation of the beloved book by Thane Maynard is the next best thing to visiting the Cincinnati Zoo to see the amazing hippo Fiona, who was born prematurely and who went through a difficult struggle to survive. Thanks to the staff at the zoo, Fiona was able to thrive and is now one of the most loved animals at the zoo. Narrated in a knowledgeable and caring tone by the author, the video provides excellent footage of Fiona beginning from the moment she is born, along with her parents, with appropriate upbeat music. Young viewers will be delighted to see such clear recordings of baby Fiona, and in particular will gain invaluable insight into and knowledge about the life of a hippo. A must-have for elementary collections.
