      Elsie is a fantastic hippo Alison. I love those sandals. I really must get a copy of this book. I bought the first one but never really used it as I'm not keen on the head shapes but I love the animals in this second book. Is there a next one planned?

      Elsie is the most cuddly hippo I’ve ever seen. I love that you have given her a summer outfit. I really enjoyed making this set for my Koala. Elsie’s is perfect as it matches her pink ears beautifully. 🥰
