Not Kermit

Frankie heard that Hippo hangs out with Kermit the Frog. So he was very excited when he met Kermit himself! He found him in the forest, burrowing in some wet leaves and slurping up slugs. He invited him inside to warm up with some hot chocolate and a good movie.

Hippo Muppet

WOW! This weekend, I went to the International Gallery at the Smithsonian Museums to see an exhibit about one of my heros--Mr. Jim Henson!

There were a lot of things I never got to see before--like sketches and scripts, his early work, commercials, a really cool short film called Timepiece, and plenty of other stuff to keep a little hippo busy on a really hot summer day.

I even got to meet some big stars! I saw Ernie and Bert, Rowlf, some other muppety creatures, and best of all--Mr. Kermit The Frog, himself!
