"Baby hippo Owen lost his pod and mama in the tsunami; taken to a wildlife refuge, he immediately took to a giant, 135-year-old tortoise and the two big humped critters-one a mammal and one a reptile! - became inseparable."
"My son who loves animals really likes this book. It is an interesting story with lots of great pictures. There is also a follow-up book that's pretty good too. I like it because there aren't many childrens picture books that are non-fiction."
