Hector and the Cello
What's the book about?
A hippo named Hector dreams of playing a beautiful stringed instrument, but none of the jungle animals want to help him learn. After many snorts, growls and hisses, he finally meets a kind musician who shows him how to make lovely music. Hector practices every day until he is brave enough to perform in a big jungle concert with all the animals listening.
