My book this week is American Hippo by Sarah Gailey.  Did you ever wonder what would happen if America imported hippos as a food source?  Well, wonder no more.  American Hippo can answer the question for you.  

Page 56 is the end of a chapter so there wasn't much to choose from but...

My Friday 56:

Obviously a hippo did not do that to him.  If a hippo got a hold of someone they would lose a lot more than an ear.
