(3) PS Illustrated by Simon Rickerty. Pals Hugo the hippo and Bella the bird (I Don't Want to Be a Pea!) are bickering again as Bella annoyingly mimics Hugo's water ballet moves; of course it pays off in the end ("You two are amazing synchronized swimmers!"). The duo's wry repartee pairs well with digital illustrations that capture the nuances of the characters' frenemy dynamic.

(3) PS Illustrated by Simon Rickerty. Bickering besties Hugo Hippo and Bella Bird are attending the "Fairy-Tale Fancy Dress Party." But they can't agree on a joint costume (e.g., Bella won't be the pea while Hugo's the princess; Hugo won't be a pumpkin while Bella's Cinderella). The clever resolution provides a happy ending. The comical banter is just right, and Rickerty's digital art is equally funny.
