Synopsis
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.

From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1—Little Hippo can't wait to grow up. Everyone in his family is bigger and older than he is. All of the animals who live nearby, from old Crocodile to Elephant, are MUCH bigger than Little Hippo. Little Hippo can't even walk underneath the trees or through the grasses without feeling incredibly small. And then one day, Little Hippo gains a new perspective. He sees a tiny beetle who is stuck on his back and gently rolls him over. When the beetle's family thanks him and calls him "Big Hippo," Little Hippo feels incredibly empowered by the praise and his deed. When he shares his success, his family dubs him "Big Little Hippo," and he enjoys a wonderful feeling of contentedness. This sweet story contains a certain amount of predictability and repetition, which young children will appreciate, and Little Hippo is quite adorable, with expressive eyes and a joyful smile after his good deed. Fine black ink lines add texture and contrast to the predominantly green, brown, and yellow tones used in the book. VERDICT 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.—Sally James, South Hillsborough Elementary School, Hillsborough, CA
