    Little Hippo was the youngest, smallest member of his family. Dwarfed by his parents, and littler than his elder siblings, he was also small compared to many of the other creatures he encountered. Feeling like the smallest animals in the world, and impatient to grow up and get bigger, he went for a walk and discovered a tiny creature - a baby beetle - in need of help. His act of kindness, and the reactions of the beetle family, made him feel very big indeed...A sweet story about being little but wanting to be big - an experience that many young children will recognize from their own lives - Big Little Hippo pairs a simple but engaging text with appealing watercolor artwork. I particularly appreciated the idea, implicit in the story, that there are many kinds of bigness, and that kindness is one them. Author/artist Valeri Gorbachev seems to specialize in animal stories, and this is a worthy addition to his large body of work. Recommended to all young children (and the parents in their lives) who feel small and long to grow bigger.
