I have always been a fan of hippos and I am originally from Cincinnati so when a baby hippo was born at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2017, I shared the story with the students at Winnona Park. Born six weeks prematurely, her name was Fiona and she was the smallest hippo to ever survive. The zookeepers had to bottle feed her and teach her to swim. Fiona also became an internet sensation and had several children's books published about her and her story. Fast forward to August 3, 2022 and Fiona now has a brother named Fritz. In addition to several fiction and non-fiction books in our library, students watched short video clips of Fiona, and Fritz and made hippo stick puppets. You can also follow Fiona and Fritz on Instagram - @cincinnatizoo.
