Translated by Lawrence Schimel.
Illustrated by
Luciano Lozano.
Mister H, a hippopotamus, convinces a young zoo visitor to set him free so he can find his home. Mister H then embarks on a series of adventures around town. Lozano's stylish illustrations lend a mid-century vibe to Nesquens's offbeat story. The Spanish import will appeal to confident chapter-book readers.
