Do you know the Christmas song, “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas?” The singer proclaims that only a hippopotamus will do—not a crocodile or rhinoceros. Well, I couldn’t find a hippo, but I did find an adorable rhino decked out in a winter scarf that I’m pretty sure will do for this month’s First Friday Giveaway. He is sooo cute. Along with Rex the Rhino, this month’s winner will receive 30 pencils, and an assortment of winter-themed mini erasers and books! So how can you enter for a chance to win this wintry prize pack? Do this!
