In their second book, the bunny and hippo have a fight when Hop's plans for celebrating Hip's birthday go wrong. Though neither character is particularly charming (Hip sulks when she doesn't get her hinted-at present; Hop fusses too much), readers will appreciate the grown-up chapter format, the humorous illustrations, and the happy, boisterous ending.
