HaHa does not understand why Bea is hugging a blanket – until
they share its cozy delights.
Bea and HaHa (an adorable hippo and a small ferret) are the
best of friends, but they don’t always get along. Perhaps it is
because they are so different from each other: excitable, verbal
HaHa is always trying to make sense of solid, confident Bea,
who says very little. These two charming stories, featuring
bright, graphic art, are centered on fundamental objects and
experiences of early childhood: cuddling a security blanket and
sharing a bagel.

PreS–Bea is a silent, gentle blue hippo. Her friend HaHa is a talkative, curious green ferret. Each of these books begins with Bea holding an object. In Hug, Hug, Hug!, it's a blanket, and in Num, Num, Num! it's a bagel. HaHa notices it, asks about it, and then pesters about it. The characters are shown thinking about the situation, and the final spread shows them sharing and smiling at one another. The rhythmic language is fun to read aloud. Each page ends with the same phrase, inviting young listeners to chant along. Bogacki's illustrations are sweet, playful, and slightly offbeat, with colors that are rich and vivid. The only things on the page are the two characters and the object. The warmth and simplicity will make these titles popular with toddlers.–Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK
