Dimitri may be small but he has a huge heart. He tells his new friends at preschool: I Love You, and the class guinea pig too. He goes through the story saying and showing all of his love for everyone. The only problem is that most preschoolers are shy and they are not sure how to respond. Eventually his classmates realize what a sweet and loving person he is and they all play together. I would recommend this for any collection looking for books about caring and being accepted for who you are and it would make a good read a loud story. The children can answer questions while the story is being read and discuss Dimitri’s feelings. ( )
