When Billy is feeling sad, he wishes he had someone to talk to. He thinks what he needs is someone to listen . . . but his best friend, Hippo, believes he knows exactly what Billy needs!
Playing dress-ups will cheer Billy up, and dancing in the cherry blossoms, or maybe a pirate adventure?
No? Then how about a magic carpet race?
What fun!
Ready, set, GO!
Hippo just wants to make Billy happy, but it's only when he finally listens to what Billy wants that he can help his friend.
