But Not the Hippopotamus is a Sandra Boynton children's book about a shy hippo who wants to join in with other animals but is hesitant. The book's simple, rhyming text and cartoon illustrations depict the hippo watching other animals have fun before being invited to join them, and the story builds to a climax where the hippo must decide whether to stay or go, ultimately finding the courage to say "YES" and join the group. The book is praised for teaching children about rhymes, animals, and the importance of inclusion.
