Poem

Happy the Hippo loves to wadeIn the river and in the shadeWhen Happy shoots water out of his snoutYou know he's happy without a doubt!
From the Ty swing tag

About Happy the Hippopotamus – Lavender

The lavender Happy is one of two colours of the hippo made under style number 4061, the other being gray. The style number will not tell you which one you have, since both carry it. The colour will.

The lavender fabric is the same one Ty used on Floppity, style 4118. The one oddity recorded on the lavender Happy is an Inch tush tag.
