Description

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 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.

Reviews

"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 "Sure to be a big hit at storytime for little ones." --Kirkus Reviews
