Enter the world of Hildegard Rhineheffer, a lovable hippo who dreams of being an opera star. She suddenly has her big break when Frau Hoopenholler the lead in the opera is ill. Hildegard is flabbergasted by her stroke of luck – there is so much to do to prepare! But then, just as suddenly as the opportunity arises, she loses her voice. What is an aspiring star to do?
Help Hildegard overcome her stage fright and become the diva she deserves to be. You can feed her a feast, help her try on silly hats, or pop the bubbles in her bath.
Illustrated in watercolor, with twenty-eight interactive, surprise-packed pages, this is an unforgettable story of a singer on the brink of stardom. The extras include Hildegard’s Famous Roles – hilarious spoofs of Madame Butterfly, Hansel and Gretel and other opera classics. There is also a matching game of details from the illustrations.
