But not the Hippopotamus
This is absolutely the best children's book. I give it as a gift to all the "wee ones" in my family. Their parents have each told me how much their children love the book. It has rhyme, presents emotion, and has a happy ending all while sharing a good moral lesson on how to treat others.
It is the best of Sandra Boynton.
One of the better boynton books
Boynton books have been really hit or miss with us. This is one of the better ones.
My daughter enjoys having it read to her, and we can tolerate reading it. She enjoys the rhyming and the hippo. The thought that the book was sending some kind of negative message never crossed my mind before reading some of the reviews here.
Buuuuuuut... YES! the hippopotamus! (But not... the armadillo.)
Poor li'l armadillo. *sniff*
There isn't a moral message in this story. A hippo sulks while her friends have fun without her (I always think of the hippo as a girl, anyway) - probably not even noticing that she's there.
This is great for hamming it up, with lots of fake sobs as the story goes on.
Then she is given her metaphorical engraved invitation and is delighted to join in. And now the armadillo is on the sidelines, probably to have his own (armadillo always seemed like a guy to me) happy ending later.
Simple, short story for short kids.
