I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas | John Rox
2 posts | 2 read
Christmas is coming, and one little girl wants nothing more than a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy. But will Santa Claus and her parents make her Christmas wish come true? As shown in his best-selling titles The Night Before Christmas and Here Comes Santa Claus, no one can portray the holidays better than Bruce Whatley; and he doesit again with I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas. The song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" was written in 1950 by John Rox and became a nationwide hit in 1953 when ten-year-old Oklahoma native Gayla Peevey sang the song as a way to raise money for the Oklahoma City Zoo's first hippopotamus. In December of that year the city received Matilda the hippo for Christmas.

Ok, now I know why this is in the return section!! Tbh, the art for this one is really scary and the story is simply the title, the girl wants a hippo for Christmas and won't take no for an answer 😅 #holidayread #tmskellington #wintergames
