Elephant & Piggie meets Narwhal and Jelly in this hilarious new early-reader graphic novel series about Archie & Reddie, two fox friends who have wild fun!

When Reddie comes over to Archie’s house excited to go to the big Hat Day party, she is surprised to learn that he can’t make it. He has lost his favorite hat! Luckily, when it comes to finding things (and hats), two heads are always better than one! So Archie and Reddie set about trying to locate it. The only problem is Archie’s home is a little messy. And Reddie has no idea what this hat looks like. And, oh, Archie also has dozens and dozens of them to sort through! Will they ever find Archie’s favorite hat, or are they going to have to miss the party? It’s quite the conundrum, but you can read to find out what happens!

Candy James is a husband-and-wife creative duo originally from Hong Kong and New Zealand.

Their award-winning toy designs have been stocked everywhere from one-star-rated eBay sellers to fancy museums like the MoMA. Their work has been featured alongside Hello Kitty, Hot Wheels, and even on wedding and birthday cakes. They are product designers, branding specialists, and graphic designers with a love of manga, animation, and mid-century design. When they are not making funny books for children, they can usually be found hiking, gardening, cooking, or teaching their doggy a new trick. Visit them at candyjames.com.
K-Gr 2-This new title for early readers from husband and wife team Candy James (Candy and James Robertson) is as entertaining as their debut comic, which introduced the charming fox duo Archie and Reddie. In this latest, it's Hat Day, and Reddie is anxious to celebrate the festivities with her best pal; however, Archie has lost his favorite hat. No wonder-Archie's house is cluttered with toys, musical instruments, and, of course, pizza. Despite this delay in celebrating the "hattiest day of the year," Reddie is committed to helping her friend solve the puzzle, and the two set about rifling through piles of stuff. As more and more hatlike objects appear, they realize it might take a bit longer than expected to uncover the missing accessory. Full of humor and charm, the repetitive sequencing hones prediction skills and also builds reader involvement. The digital artwork expands the mis-en-scène, adding to the plot while also encouraging the development of readers' visual cues and literacy. VERDICT This latest addition to the series is a definite purchase for beginning reader collections, especially ones that focus on comic and graphic novel formats.-Claire Moore, Manhattan Beach Lib., CAα(c) Copyright 2011.
