     "Herman the Hippo"
     by Erin Brosey, age 17, Tennessee


    "Herman the Hippo"

    This creature is a blue-purple, fuzzy soft hippopotamus by the name of Herman.  He is droopy and soft with a mixed plastic bean and plush interior.  His eyes are embroidered with black thread so as not to be hard, and his tail is made of the same fabric as the main body and is slightly rounded in a sort of flat oval and has no tuft at the end.  The fabric on the interior of his raised nostrils and his ears is made of the same fabric found on the bottoms of his feet.  His feet are made of a shorter haired fabric and are bright purple.  Herman's feet do have four rounded toes each and have no separation between the purple fabric and the blue-purple fuzzy fabric.  The purple fabric lies flat on the bottom of the foot bowing out only a little at the middle.  The fuzzy blue-purple fabric makes up the curve of the toe. 

    Herman the Hippo is cute, fuzzy, soft and huggable.  What more could anyone want from a stuffed animal?  I truly hope he is enjoyed just for what he is.
