A Story for Hippo: A Book about Loss

32 pp. | Scholastic | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-439-26219-4 $$15.95
(4) PS Illustrated by Alison Bartlett. When his friend Hippo dies, Monkey is inconsolable--until a new friend helps him see that what they have learned from Hippo will help them both. Though the book is overly purposeful, Puttock sets the right tone in addressing the grief that children feel and the pain of their loss. Vibrantly hued illustrations capture the appealing characters and their changing emotions.
