H is a hippopotamus who is tired of living in captivity in the zoo and decides one day to escape and return to his native Africa.
With the help of a visiting schoolgirl named Rosana, he breaks free from his cage and exits the park.
H encounters zoo employees and pedestrians and even strides into a pizzeria, but no one who crosses his path seems to find it strange that a hippopotamus is freely wandering the city streets.
The colorful illustrations that capture this absurd situation add brightness to this delightfully silly story.
El senor H es un hipopotamo que esta cansado de su cautiverio en el zoo y un dia decide volver a su Africa natal.
Con la ayuda de una alumna visitante llamada Rosana, se libera de su jaula y sale del parque.
El senor H se encuentra con empleados del zoo y peatones e incluso entra en una pizzeria, pero nadie con quien se cruza se extrana del hecho de que un hipopotamo esta vagando libremente por las calles de la ciudad.
Las ilustraciones a todo color que captan esta situacion absurda le otorgan brillo a esta historia deliciosamente tonta.
