"A great selection to share with young children to show them that
they are 'bigger' than they believe and that their actions, big and
small, do matter." --School Library Journal A board version of the
popular picture book, Big Little Hippo by superstar Valeri
Gorbachev! Little Hippo is the youngest in his family . . . and the
smallest. Smaller than his parents and siblings. Smaller than his
neighbors, too, from old Crocodile to giant Elephant. And even
though his mom promises he'll grow, Little Hippo doesn't want to
wait; he wants to be big RIGHT NOW! But when he helps a creature
even tinier than himself, Little Hippo learns that it's the size of
his heart that counts most of all.
Little Hippo is the youngest in his family...and the smallest.
Smaller than his parents and siblings. Smaller than his friends,
too, from old Crocodile to giant Elephant. And even though everyone
promises hell grow, Little Hippo doesn't want to wait. He wants to
be big RIGHT NOW! But when he helps a creature even tinier than
himself, Little Hippo learns that it's the size of his heart that
counts most of all.
When someone is afraid, what do they do? Whimsical pictures of
animals reacting to fear will educate and delight children and show
them that everyone is afraid sometimes and deals with that fear in
their own way. Ostriches stick their heads in the sand, frogs jump
into ponds, and in the soothing ending, a little boy is comforted
by his mother when he wakes up from a bad dream.
