A vibrant and rhyming picture book takes readers on an exciting school trip to the enchanting woods, where danger lurks unseen except for the observant Liam. With his unique ability to hide, Liam becomes the hero of the day, saving the children from impending peril. Despite his classmates' dismissive attitudes, Liam's skill of hiding reveals a profound insight into the nature of perception and the power of observation.
As the children embark on their outdoor adventure, filled with foraging, climbing, and trapping, they are oblivious to the legendary Grizzled Grist who inhabits the forest. Their excitement overrides any sense of caution, and they confidently venture into the unknown. However, it is Liam's quiet presence and keen senses that detect the danger lurking in the shadows.
A hider moves with silent ease, treading as softly as the breeze. At times, Liam barely breathes, yet his perception extends beyond the physical realm. He sees things that others cannot perceive, things that exist only in the realm of imagination. When the children and their frazzled teacher walk confidently into disaster, little Liam saves the day, proving that sometimes, the quietest and least noticed among us possess the greatest strength and wisdom.
This heartwarming tale is a testament to the power of individuality and the importance of recognizing the untapped potential within each of us. It encourages readers to embrace their unique qualities and to never underestimate the significance of quiet observation and thoughtful action.
"That's Not a Hippopotamus" is a delightful book that will captivate young readers with its buoyant fun and engaging storytelling. It is a fabulous read-aloud for groups, and it has been recognized with numerous awards, including the School Library Journal's Best Books of 2016 and Kirkus Reviews' "Buoyant fun for the very young."
