Ben KaChoo's story Sink or Swim captures kids attention through the silly humor of sneezing, then offers suspense and intrigue as relationships build. Living in the zoo’s swamp is the last thing a bright-eyed young hippo like Ben KaChoo needs. You see, Ben has allergies. After accidentally sneeze-jetting into a crocodile named Arrow, the two start an unexpected friendship. But will their families be uncomfortable with this as each animal usually stays with their own species? Will the animals adapt? "Characters make the same sounds as children, which engages the kids immediately," Angela Larson, Chief Story Teller of Fierce Fun Toys, LLC, told TDmonthly.
