'With Zoe getting older, outlooks diverge about her best friend's residence on their roof.' 

In collaboration with the creators of the worldwide arena spectacular Walking With Dinosaurs, Pocket Bonfire joins forces with The Creature Technology Company to produce a beguiling adaptation of the 1980 classic, There’s a Hippopotamus on our Roof Eating Cake.

Dedicated to the now adult fans of the book, this live-action interpretation brings a new angle to the much loved Australian story.
