A little girl goes into a shoe shop and eyes a beautiful pair of shoes with silver buckles. But they don't fit her, her feet are too big, her mother says and buys her another, more practical pair of shoes. The little girl doesn't like them, she feels like an elephant in them. But she was soon distracted at Grandma's house and goes straight to what she likes in the house - Grandma's cabinet of treasures from the past. And there was something she hadn't noticed before. A tiny pair of shoes! Who could they belong to?

"Grandpa, how did you meet Grandma?" asks Manja the little hippo one sultry afternoon at the Taiping Zoo. So begins Grandpa's delightful and sometimes tongue-in-cheek tale. The story begins, as all stories must begin somewhere, in Africa. And continues with Grandpa's one shot at fame, although not in the way he intended, and of course, meeting Grandma. Fengyi's illustrations of the hippos are simply wonderful, whether breakdancing or just having a swim.
