About the book
Cheetah and Hippopotamus are friends and enjoy laughing and talking together but there is one problem: Hippopotamus can't keep up with Cheetah when Cheetah runs. Cheetah leaves a sad Hippopotamus and goes out looking for a friend who can keep up with him but he finds that the grass isn't always greener, friends don't have to be the same as you are at everything and sometimes the friends that you already have are worth hanging on to.
