Has your little one ever wondered what it would be like to have a hippo as a pet? As the second-largest land animal on Earth, it might be quite impractical to have a real hippo in the house! With our hippo children’s book, kids can create their very own pet hippo to feature in a book alongside them, and delve deep into their imagination!
Your little one can create an avatar that looks exactly like them, choosing their eye color, hair color and their favorite outfit! Their avatar will be featured throughout the book, alongside their Name, which they will also be able to spot on the front cover. They’ll even be able to choose a Name for their pet hippo!
How to Personalize Your Child’s Hippo Book
You can personalize your hippo story book by choosing your child’s Name, creating a Name for their pet hippo, write a special Message for the title page and even upload an optional Photo of them to appear on the back page!
As well as this, you can create your very own avatars of the main character and their pet hippo to feature throughout the pages of the story.
Further Information
Please note: You cannot pick the gender of the pet and throughout the story it will be referred to using gender neutral pronouns.
Complete your gift by adding a luxury gift box to keep your book protected as time passes.

Ordered a black leather bound book of Formula One racing. A fabulous gift which looked very classy in its own beautiful box. So impressed, I have just ordered a football book of newspaper cuttings and debating which of the history books to order.
Good value for money and a gift to treasure.
