You Look Ridiculous, Said the Rhinoceros to the Hippopotamus (Houghton Mifflin sandpiper books)

Rating:
Summary: A celebration of diversity, written for children
Review: A hippopotamus is wallowing very happily in her favorite mudhole until a snooty rhinoceros ambles along and tells her she looks ridiculous because she doesn't have a horn on her nose. So begins Bernard Waber's hilarious tale of an insecure hippo, who suffers from a severe inferiority complex until she realizes she's just fine the way she is, "a big, fat, wonderful hippopotamus". Waber is a great children's author and this book provides a message that any preschooler can relate to and understand, that everyone is special and unique in his or her own way. The ink and spatter-paint illustrations, in black, red and green, are fun to look at and help carry the story along. Kids from 3 to 6, and their parents too, will love this book.
