Hippo Ocracy

Have you heard the phrase taking a dump? Good. Coz now you get to see it. In all its glory.

All this happens in the kingdom of Hippopotamuses. Just you wait. We also have emaciated elephants, rebel crocodiles and even a pair of sneaky squirrels. And of course, pandas. It’s a veritable jungle out there.

They call the book child-friendly. But I have my doubts. Teens maybe.


The plot moves fast starting with a visit from foreign royalty to a vicious battle locally. Beneath all the mayhem is a message. But who cares when you having so much fun.

With cool drawings and color. And dialogs to match. It’s worth a read.
