Synopses & Reviews
Bagels are good – but they are best when split with a friend.
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.
