When Veronica, a large and happy hippopotamus, arrives at Mr. Pumpkin's farm, she can't wait to make friends with all the barnyard animals. But day after day they ignore her and say such unkind things that she withdraws from them and refuses to eat and becomes sick. When the barnyard animals see this, they have a change of heart and the farm becomes a very different place.

When the door to his house at the zoo is left open a lion decides to visit his friends, but he quickly learns that people are not nearly as polite or friendly in town as when they visit him at the zoo.

A hippopotamus who is never noticed among all the other hippopotamuses sets out to find a country where she can be conspicuous, but finds city life not so great.
