Wonderful article. I love what you have done. And, also, taught me things I did not know. You are a genius! And, somehow you've managed to relay that to us and it's not only fun, but uplifting and educational. How nice!
Thank you so much, Lucy. It was a lot of fun to create the art and write, though I had my perceptions of hippos shattered. Did you see that one chasing the boat?!
Wow, that’s kind of cool. It’s not a name I recall hearing often. Does your dad like his name? I enjoyed researching and writing this piece, especially learning about hippos :-) The tips just seem to make intuitive sense to me, don’t they to you?
Hippos are a big part of the collection of young children's books by Sandra Boynton. Her first, "Hippos Go Berserk," is a favorite of my 18-month old grandson. A more recent book about moods, "Happy Hippo, Angry Duck," is another favorite. I have never in my life spent so much time thinking about the secret life of hippos!

My father's name is Horace! Love all these positive tips!

Big believer in the power of creativity and the brain here! Great post and cute hippo!
Thank you dear Margot!

Laughing….personally I prefer writing about dogs. If you’d like a change of pace see: https://www.dreamingwideawake.org/critterkin
Might be a little advanced for an 18-month old though.
Parietal lobes do hearing and language, so use the words you hear and think of and the ability to use them yourself.
