The story of the effort to save the first premature hippo born in a zoo. Wonderful photos and great hippo facts in the backmatter.

Love the dedication to the staff who did the hard work.

Love that she was named after the princess character in Shrek.

(The biggest breast pump on the market doesn't work on hippos. A scientist had to hand milk Fiona's mother, to get some for Fiona for antibodies and samples so the staff could duplicate to make hippo formula.)

Special VAT nurses were sent from Cincinnati's Children's Hospital to put in a Fiona's IV .
