Our touching new board book by authors Isabella and Craig Hatkoff, with photographs by Peter Greiste, features the incredible photos that charmed the world, along with a simple, sweet text that is perfect for reading to young children.
This is the heartwarming, true animal story of two great friends: a baby hippo named Owen and a giant tortoise named Mzee. Owen, the orphan baby hippo, was rescued from the tsunami floods and Mzee is the 130-year-old tortoise who adopted him.
Excerpt from Owen and Mzee's Web Log:
Lafarge Eco Systems, Kenya
April 12,2006
"While they're resting, they are more often than not touching or in contact with each other. Owen is either leaning against Mzee, or resting his head on Mzee's leg. It's as though he needs that physical contact - maybe it reassures him that his good friend is still there while he sleeps."
