Little Noun, The Blue Hippopotamus of the Nile Banks

Content : Little Noun, the blue hippopotamus, lived in ancient Egypt. After a long sleep underground, lasting days, months and centuries, he woke with a start. Everything around him had changed so much. Only the pyramids remained.
"I have to find my family, my friends, my brothers."

The story of Little Noun begins in the Egypt of the pharaohs, then leaps forward to our own time. Buried with his old friend, the hippopotamus only wakes up when archaeologists unearth his tomb. When Little Noun decides to set off in search of his family, he takes on the colours of the lands he travels through: the golden yellow of the desert, the green monochrome of the forest, the grey mists of Paris. But Little Noun is always alone. When all seems lost, he comes face to face with his family... under the Louvre pyramid.
