Description

Hippo's morning starts off good,
until friends say, “You should! You should!” 
You should prance! You should sing!
Wear this hat! Stretch your wing!
Though Hippo wants to be a friend,
he wonders when the “shoulds” will end.
 
Hippo and friends will soon find out
that being yourself is what life's about.
