Hurty Feelings

Lester and Munsinger are a winning duo.  Subtitled Feeling Good About Yourself, Hurty Feelings is about a hippo who took everything anyone said to her the wrong way and hurt her feelings, causing her to weep and sob, earning her name Fragility.  Finally when confronted by an elephant, everything he says about her is true for him, too, and he breaks down crying.    They finally stop and become friends and she learns not to take things said so personally.  A very cute story appropriate for dealing with kindergartners and first graders fragile feelings and getting them to understand everything said isn’t to be taken literally.  My only complaint is that the binding appears weak.
