This is the moment when a little girl screamed with laughter while her aunt was reading her a book about an animated hippopotamus.

According to foreign media, the Telegraph reports, the moment was filmed at the home of the baby's parents in the city of Quemu Quemu in the central Argentine province of La Pampa and the images were widely distributed by the local media this week.

The video, which has gone viral, shows Guadalupe, 21, reading a book to her seven-month-old niece, Francisca.

In the video you can see how little Francisca bursts into laughter.

Guadalupe said the video was filmed while the baby's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen.
