It's Penny Hippo's first day of school, and when she arrives with her elephant pal Sal, she's thrilled by what she sees. Lions are playing hopscotch while zebras play tag by the lake. The baboons are jumping rope using a grumpy old snake. School seems to be one fun adventure, but when the popular girls, led by a stylish, long legged ostrich, leave Penny out of their group, Penny's left wondering, 'isn't anything cool about me?' It takes a brush with a big, hungry croc to teach Penny, and all of her schoolmates, what cool really means.
