Title: Negative messaging
Product review: I first read this when a friend bought a set of Sandra Boynton books for her soon. She and I were both horrified by the ending.There were far more positive ways that Ms. Boynton could have ended this story - the hippo could have returned and invited the armadillo along; the book could have ended with the hippo being invited along; all of the animals could have come back for the armadillo.To me, the message of this book is that someone is always left out and implies that it is OK to leave out someone who is different.It's a shame, because the other books in the collection are wonderful. My children will never read this book.
