Blushful Hippopotamus

It''s not easy being a blushful hippopotamus

Baby hippo Roosevelt tries hard to ride a bike, to count, and to remember the right names of things. When he falls down, forgets a number, or calls a buffalo a "buggalo," Roosevelt gets embarrassed. His cheeks turn red, and his sister teases him, saying he''s a blushful hippopotamus.

Thankfully, Roosevelt has Lombard, an egret friend with a sense of perspective. Lombard reminds Roosevelt that though he may be blushful, he is also hopeful, thoughtful, and wonderful in many ways—and his sister''s words don''t mean a thing.
