Zoo Crew Pygmy Hippo Hand-Puppet Cloth Book

Zoo Crew Pygmy Hippo Hand‑Puppet Cloth Book

The Pygmy Hippo Hand‑Puppet Cloth Book brings storytime, sensory play and wildlife wonder together in one adorable, interactive toy. Part of the colourful Zoo Crew collection created by Make Believe Ideas in partnership with ZSL London Zoo, this two‑in‑one puppet book helps little ones learn about pygmy hippos — one of the world’s most at‑risk species — through touch, movement and playful storytelling.

Made from super‑soft fabrics, this gentle pygmy hippo puppet invites babies to squeeze, cuddle and explore as they turn the 8 interactive cloth pages. With catchy rhymes and cute illustrations, little readers are encouraged to engage with books from the very beginning, building a love of reading through fun, sensory‑rich play. The hand‑puppet design adds a layer of magic, letting grown‑ups bring the story to life with wiggly ears, waving paws and animated hippo fun.

Perfect from birth, the Pygmy Hippo Hand‑Puppet Cloth Book also supports early development. As babies grasp, turn pages and interact with the puppet, they naturally build:

• Fine motor skills
• Memory, focus and early problem‑solving
• Emotional regulation
• Language and communication
• Curiosity about wildlife and nature

Lightweight and sized at 22 × 16 × 4 cm, it’s easy to attach to a buggy for on‑the‑go entertainment — ideal for pram walks, car journeys and cosy cuddle time.

A soft puppet, a sensory book and a gentle introduction to wildlife conservation all in one — the Pygmy Hippo Hand‑Puppet Cloth Book keeps little ones happy, busy and discovering the animal world around them.
