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.
