As time passes, and the little remains green, the trouble begins. A green hippopotamus in the pod is just way too different for old bully Harold Hippo to tolerate. From his prejudice perspective, he begins to poison the views of all the other hippos until no other hippo wants to have anything to do with the little green hippo or her parents. It isn't until hippopotamus hunters burst on the scene that the other hippos begin to learn that the only way they can be saved is by working together. A journey that begins with the end of innocence for a bunch of little hippos, continues as Avocado and her friends show more maturity than the adults. A story for children of all ages.
