Hippospotamus

Ridiculously hilarious Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross's classic laugh-out-loud take, shortlisted for the Red House Children's Book Award.

Hippopotamus had a spotamus . . . on her bottomus!
"It's Measles!" said Weasel.
"It's Hippopox!" said Fox.
"It's Jungle Fever!" said Beaver.

But the spot on Hippo's bottomus was not a diseasel, not even a spotamus but something quite silly . . .
