The Little Hippo. Little Animals in the Water

“Pequeño hipopótamo. Animalitos al agua” is a soft, washable bath book that turns everyday bath time into a small aquatic adventure. Designed especially for babies and toddlers from 0 to 3 years, it follows a friendly little hippo who loves to splash, play and discover the water world.

The compact 15 × 15 cm format and lightweight plastic pages are easy for little hands to hold, squeeze and explore. The rounded edges and flexible material are gentle on delicate skin and safe to chew, making the book ideal for the bathtub, paddling pool or even the beach. Each of the six pages offers colourful illustrations with clear shapes and high contrast details that naturally attract a baby’s attention and help to focus their gaze.

While you read and play together, you can introduce the first Spanish words related to water, animals and everyday routines. Repeating simple phrases around the hippo’s adventures supports early language development without overwhelming the child. The playful scenes also encourage parents to create small rituals – from counting splashes to pointing at body parts or naming colours in Spanish.

Because the book is waterproof and easy to clean, it withstands everyday use, falling into the tub and being handled by curious little explorers. It dries quickly and can be stored with bath toys, always ready for the next session of fun in the water.

If you are looking for a practical gift for a baby shower, a first birthday or simply want to enrich your child’s bath time, “Pequeño hipopótamo. Animalitos al agua” is a simple, affordable and durable choice. It combines sensory play, early learning and shared moments between adult and child – everything you need to transform a quick wash into a joyful, bonding routine.
