Synopsis

Billy Hippo detests water—it's too cold, too scary, and far too wet! Despite his family's best efforts to show him the joys of swimming, Billy refuses to even try. However, when two mischievous frogs hatch a clever plan, Billy is in for a big surprise that just might change his mind about the water.
