Readers Comments:
“An excellent message for young children about not judging others by the way they look. Sweetly written and brightly illustrated too.” Primary school teacher, aged 55
“I loved this story. It was fun to read. I thought the Hippocrocodogapig was cool looking and has a fab name. I´d like to have a Hippocrocodogapig as a pet, but I think I´ll keep my dog for now.” Girl, aged 6 – with a little help from her teacher
“The monkey is very clever, and I think he´s the best character in the story.” Boy, aged 7
“This is a funny book with a very funny monkey in it. I´m happy he was kind to the Hippocrocodogapig. I sort of understood the message of this book. It´s saying I should get to know a person before I decide if I like them or not.” Boy, aged 7 – with a little help from his mum
