From the bestselling creator of the hit InvestiGators series, comes a hilarious and heartfelt story about a hippo determined to make it in the human world.
What happens when a hippo leaves the zoo to become... human?
Life at the zoo has gotten pretty lonely. The exhibits are run-down, the crowds have disappeared, and Hippo dreams of something more. So, with his adventurous friend Red Panda by his side, he sets off into the human world to reinvent himself.
To fit in, Hippo becomes Hippopotamister--complete with a hat disguise and a string of hilarious new jobs. From construction worker to hairstylist to sous chef, Hippo gives every career his all. But no matter how hard he tries to be someone else, he can't shake the feeling that the perfect job is the one where he can simply be himself.
Packed with laugh-out-loud humor, expressive artwork, and an uplifting message about finding where you belong,
Hippopotamister is a wildly entertaining graphic novel perfect for fans of funny animal adventures and quirky friendship stories.
