Story Rating: *****
Cover Rating: A
This was a very cute, fun book that not only spoke about children learning to share but also about accepting children who are different or unique. Bentley is a hippo who is different from everyone else, and he has big dreams. He reaches out to another kid, a monkey, who is also a little different – despite a rough start. I think the message is beautiful and the way the message is represented is compelling, entertaining for children, and well thought out.
The cover is eye-catching and offers readers a good depiction of what they should expect to find within the book.
