(3) K-3 Laugh-Along Lessons series. Illustrated by Lynn Munsinger. Fragility the hippo dissolves into tears at the slightest provocation. She's a stalwart soccer goalie, however, and when Rudy the elephant taunts her, hoping to insult her out of the way, she replies in kind--and this time Rudy's feelings are hurt. Munsinger's humorous illustrations deflect any hint of didacticism as the two adversaries begin an unlikely but satisfying friendship. A downloadable audio version is available on the publisher's website.
