1.0 out of 5 stars I have a very sad little boy......., 8 Nov 2010
This review is from: A Story for Hippo (Paperback)
My 4 year old son just brought his first book home from school to read and he was so excited. It was this book, and regretably, I read it to him shortly before bed time. He sobbed his heart out for over an hour until he fell asleep in my arms,still sobbing.
I understand the message that the book is trying to portray but it isn't a book I could recommend after our experience with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book with a lovely message, 29 July 2009
This review is from: A Story for Hippo (Paperback)
A beautiful story with a simple and poignant message. Although this might sound morbid to parents, 'A Story for Hippo' really does help explain about death and grieving to a young child in such a lovely way. It's a great story with bright and colourful illustrations that all kids and adults will love.
