Bentley Hippo Children's Books
Where Values Come to Life
Meet Bentley the Hippo and his amazing friends! Bentley Hippo Children's Books are fun, engaging stories that help children build confidence, understand emotions, practice kindness, and learn important values and life skills
Hip-Hippo Hooray! We're so glad you stopped by today!
Welcome to Bentley’s world—where laughter lives, adventures happen, and being yourself isn’t just allowed… it’s celebrated with snacks and spontaneous dance contests!
Bentley and his four unforgettable friends tackle big emotions, everyday challenges, and important life lessons while helping children build self-awareness, practice kindness, and feel proud of who they are—with plenty of laughter along the way. Even Marty is still working up the courage to wink at a squirrel.
Our award-winning Inspiring Children Series is a 5-book collection exploring sharing, kindness, and anti-bullying, resilience, patience, and acceptance.
Five Friends. Five Big Personalities. A Whole Lot of Fun!
From Bentley, the cheerful hippo and self-appointed parade leader, to Toby, the cupcake-loving elephant with a spreadsheet for snack emergencies, each friend brings their own personality, their own perspective, and plenty of laughs to every adventure.
Together, Bentley, Jaxon, Toby, Daisy, and Marty show children that everyone has something special to bring to the story—and that sometimes the biggest lessons come wrapped in a whole lot of fun.
Recognized for Excellence in Social-Emotional Learning Children’s Books
Bentley Hippo children’s books have scooped up a bunch of awards (and at least three cupcakes) for inspiring kindness, emotional growth, and a few unexpected dance-offs. Honored with standout accolades like the Canadian Business Award for Most Empowering Social-Emotional Learning Organization 2025, the Canadian Choice Award, and the Readers’ Favorite Award, these stories do more than teach—they tickle funny bones and warm hearts.
What Readers Are Saying About the Bentley Hippo Children's Books
Bentley’s pretty amazed—children and grown-ups alike are loving his adventures! From giggles to happy dances, the fun is definitely contagious!
"Another delightful addition to the Adventures of Bentley! I am super-excited to read this to my Preschool and JK students! They fell in love with Bentley's first book and now we have another to add to our collection!"
"I love the Bentley Hippo books and what they stand for. These are not just books with fun little stories; they deliver an important message that helps young children deal with society, including the other kids around them. Book 4 in the series is all about cultivating patience, something we all need to do more of! As with the other books in the series, Bentley is also a figure of positivity."
