Fiona the hippo (Picture books)

"Fiona the baby hippo is puzzled by the excitement the other zoo animals feel over Christmas, but after meeting Chloe the koala, who has just arrived, she begins to understand." --from SkyRiver.

When a kookaburra named Matilda feels down, Fiona and the other zoo animals dress up to cheer her up.

It is Fiona's birthday, and fans from all over the world are sending her cards and gifts, she is giving interviews and having her picture taken, and with all the fuss she is neglecting her zoo friends--and when her mother points this out she decides to throw her own party, with gifts for all her animal friends.

"While Fiona the hippo and her friends at the zoo are excited about Halloween, her baby brother Fritz is not so sure, but her encouragement, the yummy treats, and a new friend help change his mind about the holiday." --Library of Congress.
