Baby hippo orphaned by tsunami has his own book!

[fortyfeetunder]

Remember Owen the baby hippo, who was orphaned during the 26 Dec. Tsunami? He was rescued, and he later took up companionship with a centenarian tortoise.

Well this story continues. See the book. It is cute. Print one and read to a child. There are more pictures.

My favorie part is:

"I like to think that if Owen and Mzee who couldn’t be more different can get along then maybe people should all get along too. Remember, Owen and Mzee can’t even use their words to say if they don’t like something. And they seem to get along just fine."
