Kids create over 100 original stories about a heart-warming hippo who wants to join a game of hippoball. Each click makes a choice that sends Roberto the hippo off in delightful new directions. Once each story is complete, it can be viewed as an animated show or printed out as a read-along book.

Build stories to suit your mood.
What should Roberto do? Kids click to make decisions and create stories.

Make stories come to life.
Once stories are created, kids save them as animated shows to play back for family and friends time and time again.

Print read-along books.
Kids love to read books they create and color themselves- building essential reading skills along the way.

Sing and dance.
Kids dance and sing along as they click into a world of hippos doing the tango, singing cowboy songs, jamming in a jazz trio, and more.

Create masks and puppets.
Kids learn words that match emotions- like happy, sad, silly, and scared- as they print, cut, and color their own masks and puppets for storytelling after the computer is off.

Play ball.
Jump in and join the action in a rousing game of hippoball. Counting, strategy, and coordination skills make each child a winner.
