I am a fan of Valeri Gorbachev, and my son is a fan of hippos, so this book was just right for us. This is hands-down the most adorable hippo book I have ever seen.

The story is sweet and simple. Definitely worth checking out!

May 16, Karen rated it it was ok. Although this is a picture book it makes the attempt at concepts. Now, if you are comparing big and little and the "star" of the book is the little guy, why introduce a small fish at the beginning? Editor, did you skip a page. At the end of the book the "little" hippo helps a smaller bug and is now "BIG. Take out that one picture and this book would get four stars.

Jul 03, Linda rated it really liked it Shelves: However, things can change when Little Hippo helps turn over a small beetle trapped on its back. This simple and beautiful story with soft black-outlined-colored illustrations all by Valeri Gorbachev will please young children as it moves from unhappy to happy, all because of a good deed. In her quest to capture a human, Aventurine is tricked into drinking chocolate by the human she tried to snatch, and becomes herself a human girl.

This is a very sweet story of a lovely witch who takes abandoned children and lays them in the hands of new, loving families. When Xan nourishes a baby with moonlight, instead of starlight, the baby becomes a magical being so Xan decides to keep that child as her own, naming her Luna. Echo is a free spirit, and a thief. When war breaks out near her home, she decides to take the skills she learned from pickpocketing on the streets to find a powerful creature called Firebird.

A task that may be just too big even for the daring Echo. This series reports the clash between two orders: George, dragonslayers who want to wipe the dragons from the Earth. A soon-to-be dragonslayer, Ember Hill, has an encounter with a dragon, and that will change everything she has been taught about the dragons so far. While she worries and wonders about her future, she is set to be hunt down by Garret, but he too has doubts about the task that has been imposed to him and the order he is a part of.

Be part of the Marshmallow Catapult Challenge! Join Fraydo the Dragon Club today! Fraydo The Dragon Book Buzz! So much fun -- and ultimately a great lesson on getting advice and solving problems. What a great story, neat illustrations too. She poured over the illustrations, looking for Fraydo's friend PeeWee on each page and reading all the village signs. She recommends Fraydo the Dragon to kids who like fantasy, magic, and dragons and funny books. I recommend it to parents and teachers who are looking for a way to discuss or explain that sometimes there is more to a friend or classmate's challenging or problematic behavior than meets the eye.

It's a great story for encouraging kids to be more empathetic and to raise their awareness of the many ways including vision differences that people are different from one another. The quality of the book is top notch and the illustrations are detailed, colorful, funny and really cute. I love the story of Fraydo and how many messages my kids can learn throughout the book. It's about a dragon with poor eyesight who is "misbehaving" because he can't see or read but it's also about learning to pay attention to people around you, learning to listen and ask questions and about friendship.

It's an all around fun book with many great messages. I hope you like it as much as I do.
