Big Little Hippo

Description

"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.

Valeri Gorbachev emigrated from his native Ukraine to the US in 1991, and now lives in NYC. He has written and/or illustrated more than 50 children's books, including Sterling's Rufus Goes to School, Rufus Goes to Sea, and Rufus Blasts Off, written by Kim T. Griswell.
