- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The cutest audiobook I’ve ever listened too! Love that hippo!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was adorable - and the repetition totally worked for this story! I also knew a bit about Fiona, and looked at some pictures of her before listening to this, which was a great idea.
