Summary

Poor Amos! He hired a tick bird to eat the bugs off his back so he could be like all the other hippos. There’s just one problem. Kumba, his tick bird, takes it a bit too literally when Amos tells her to make herself at home. Now Amos has to walk around with a bird’s nest on his head, and he doesn’t like it one bit! To make matters worse, all of the other animals are making fun of him. What’s a hippo to do?
