(3) K-3 When the "large and happy" Veronica comes to live on Mr. Pumpkin's farm, the animals, having never before seen a hippopotamus, ignore her. Her friendly overtures rebuffed, Veronica loses her appetite and goes into decline. It's refreshing that when the animals figure out their unkindness is what has made her ill, they realize they're at fault and remedy the situation.
