Product Description
This is the true story of two great friends: a baby hippo named Owen, and a giant tortoise named Mzee. In December 2004, a frightened young hippo, separated from his family by the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia, adopted an 130-year-old tortoise as his "mother". And the tortoise remarkably accepted the baby hippo as his own. Owen and Mzee are now inseparable and their story has captured hearts everywhere.
