This book will invade the privacy of your children's mind, the words will persuade you to continue reading it to the end, and you will surrender to the charm of the writing and the power of its optimism.

A wonderful children's book about a Hippo who attacked a tribe of Mountain Lions. Surry attacked a Mountain Lion after it killed a Hyena. When Surry returned home he was thinking about his battle with the Mountain Lions, and how he was wounded in dozens of places; but he was still alive. Some Mountain Lions were badly injured on their hind leg, others had badly torn throats; and some had lost their eyes. Others ears were bitten off, and he could hear their family's crying and whimpering throughout the night... Surry is a strong, spirited hippo. A story that touches all of your emotions. A thrilling, action-packed animal adventure that will appeal to both boys and girls.
