Another great story by Grandpa Kevin! This gem is about a hippo named Krit, who learns a valuable lesson about integrity. Each line is written with exemplary rhythm and rhyme that keeps children engaged with every page turn.
Krit loved to boast about fairness and kindness to all the animals:
“Help those in need, he’d say with a smile. If they ask for a yard— give them a mile.”
However, one little mouse follows Krit through the jungle to discover that his words don’t quite match his actions. Soon enough, all the other animals discover his hypocrisy and Krit begins to self-reflect on his behavior.
His eyes had been opened as clear the day.
He knew he’d don’t wrong so… here’s what he’d say,
“I can see it is true— I have to admit
the hippo I’ve been – a big HYPO-CRITE”
A story of respect, honesty and integrity that teaches kids a valuable lesson, all while delivering beautiful vocabulary and rhyme to promote literacy skills. The illustrations are vivid, the words are catchy. A great story to share with children.
