The View From Here is all about Harriet, a beautiful pink toy hippo, who goes to live with a little girl called Alice.

Harriet has been bought for Alice as a birthday present by her father at the Henley Regatta and she leads a very glamorous lifestyle until Alice is given a computer for her 7th birthday.

Suddenly, Harriet is no longer the apple of Alice's eye but a 'has been hippo' languishing on top of a dusty wardrobe.

How can she make Alice love her again...
