Title: Not a good message about self esteem
Product review: I love Sandra Boynton books. We have many and I want the rest but I just don't care for this book. Either I totally missed the point or she's sending the wrong message here. The hippo is left out of fun things time and time again then when the gang finally thinks to invite the hippo he only hesitates for a moment then runs to join the gang. The gang are inconsiderate fake friends. The hippo does not need fake friends and I will not encourage my child to join other kids that usually leave him out.
